Nothing is given to man on earth - struggle is built into the nature of life, and conflict is possible - the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen.

We all enjoy pushing ourselves to accomplish our objectives. But we don't need stress to get there.

If you're successful and stressed out, you're succeeding in spite of your stress, not because of it.

The truth is that stress doesn't come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about these circumstances.

Negative thoughts stick around because we believe them, not because we want them or choose them.

The reason humans experience so much more stress than other species isn't just because we think more, but also because we think differently.

Look closer at the stress in your own life and you can identify that negative emotions are always built on counterfactual statements.

Stress is the negative whirlwind of emotions that gets imposed on top of our stimulation and engagement.

I shall lend credit to nothing against my people which parents would not believe against their own children.

God didn't create any of us to be average. He didn't make us to barely get by. We were created to excel.

We must choose for others as we have reason to believe they would choose for themselves if they were at the age of reason and deciding rationally.

If your regime is not strong enough to handle a joke, then you don't have a regime.

We're very blessed, just very fortunate to have the things we have.
