Those who live in the past are cowards and losers.

The ones who want to achieve and win championships motivate themselves.

I've been into the habit of freezing white grapes and using them as a snack. Instead of eating peanuts or popcorn or something like that or pretzels, I just eat the white grapes.

Effort without talent is a depressing situation... but talent without effort is a tragedy.

If you're not in the parade, you watch the parade. That's life.

Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace.

Losers quit when they're tired. Winners quit when they've won.

Motivation comes from within each individual. It's a personal thing. It's pride, guts, desire, whatever you want to call it; some people have it in their bellies, and some don't.

There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.

... to find beauty in everyone you must see beauty in everyone, then announce that you see it, for in announcing it, you place it there in their reality.

Never feel lonely. You are never lonely. At the deepest core of your being, God resides.

That’s the other thing I learned that day, that the truth, however shocking or uncomfortable, in the end leads to liberation and dignity.

The more you say no the more people ask.
