Whenever I have to do something, I try to minimise the time it takes me to do it. I just cannot wait.

Unbelievable how silly this Formula 1 is these days, with this stupid overtakes.

There is no reason not to be motivated. You cannot always be the best. But you can do your best.

You can't change what happened. But you can still change what will happen.

The moment money becomes your motivation, you are immediately not as good as someone who is stimulated by passion and internal will.

Never lift. Never stop believing.

I don't care too much what happened in the past. I prefer to focus on what is coming next and I am really looking forward to it.

Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.

I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker - and we've always loved racing together.

I told you guys... don't stop believing.

I remember my first test in F1. After five laps, I came back to the pits and tried to play it cool - 'Oh yeah, I'm fine, I'm on top of this' - but I was completely lost.

Bidden or unbidden, God is present.

You must be a blessing to other people while you are still on this earth

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

I found out life's hard but it ain't impossible.

We'll meet again. We'll meet when years have passed, and years make such a difference, don't they?

In the next ten years we will have to continue to make changes which will make the whole of this country a genuinely classless society.

Knowledge and devotion, to be true, have to stand the test of renunciation of the fruits of action.

He who prides himself an extraordinary person by his deeds is rejected by the world; he who has independent ideas is hated by the mass.

When a fantasy turns you on, you're obligated to God and nature to start doing it right away.

With all this wide and beautiful creation before me, the restless soul longs to enjoy its liberty and rest beyond its bound.
