Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home.

There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work... THERE ARE NO LIMITS.

The more you dream the more you achieve.

You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.

Swimming is more than a once-every-four-years sport. My goal is to bring attention to swimming - to give it some personality.

If you want to be the best you have to do things that other people aren't willing to do.

I like to get in my own world. When I'm getting ready for a meet, I always have headphones on, listening to rap music to get myself fired up

Perseverance, determination, commitment, and courage-those things are real. The desire for redemption drives you.

The one thing that's common to all successful people: They make a habit of doing things that unsuccessful people don't like to do.

I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.

Dream as big as you can dream, and anything is possible.

First love is like hearing your favorite music, regardless of how much you repeat it, every time you will enjoy all the pain.

Not your eyes but the capacity of your mind determines how well you see the things happening around you!

I was behaving, just like I promised, but fate intervened.

If the best man's faults were written on his forehead it would make him pull his hat over his eyes.

Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.

Where he had failed, I would triumph. Where he had lost his way, I would find the path out of the labyrinth.

My countrymen, I am wholeheartedly thankful to you today for proving that change isn't coming but it has ALREADY COME!

I ain't a new artist, I'm good in the studio, I don't need somebody to hold my hand in the studio. I don't even really want them all over my album or anything like that.

No man is more than another unless he does more than another.

Be creative. Use your voice, your community.
