It’s not ‚can‘; it’s ‚will.‘ You have to will things into fruition.

Building a mission and building a business go hand in hand. The primary thing that excites me is the mission. But we have always had a healthy understanding that we need to do both.

I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I’m inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.

I’ve been lucky. Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.

One thing I’ve tried to never do is make wish lists. I try to have a very steppingstone mentality about this whole thing, where as soon as you make one step you visualize the next step, not five steps ahead.

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.

Hope is a waking dream.

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes.

The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord’s mercy motivates us to do better.

Sometimes you need faith and victory spoken over your life. Words have created power. When you receive them into your spirit, they can ignite seeds of increase on the inside.

On one of my last days at school, the headmaster said I would either end up in prison or become a millionaire. That was quite a startling prediction, but in some respects, he was right on both counts!

Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

Even when you’re 50, you can make the effort to improve your standards.

If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don’t care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.

The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another.

I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

I don’t focus on the critics. Everyone who is making any difference in any field has critics. As long as I feel like I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing, then I don’t worry about it.

Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

What keeps me going is goals.

People will try to bring you down, but you gotta go up.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares… if you don’t really work them.

People have to understand one thing: at the age of 18, I arrived at a dream club like Manchester United. It was a dream come true. But, even at that moment, I was thinking about playing in England for some years and then going to play in Spain. Even at that time I was thinking that way, and I always gave 100% everything.

With patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I’m going to press on for equality. I’m going to press on for the sake of our children. I’m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I am going to press on.

No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.

I never cut class. I loved getting A’s, I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.

No sooner said than done – so acts your man of worth.

Stupidly it should not be. It should be also nice. One must get along with that. Is however not necessary.

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

I don’t see how people are comfortable with seeing other people be great. You can be happy for anybody, but what is your excuse to not want to be great? These people are great because they just say, ‚I’ma do that,‘ and they do it. That’s it. There’s no scientifical process.

Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times.

Ideas excite me, and as soon as I get excited, the adrenaline gets going and the next thing I know I’m borrowing energy from the ideas themselves.

If you are lucky enough to find something that you love, and you have a shot at being good at it, don’t stop, don’t put it down.

I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.

Things won are done, joy’s soul lies in the doing.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.

God wants to use you to make other people happy! And the happier you make others, the happier you will be because you reap what you sow.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.

People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing – continue to rock it – because obviously, God wants you here.

The basis of optimism is sheer terror.

With all the… success that I’ve been lucky enough to get? That doesn’t happen unless the home life is solid.

Talent without working hard is nothing.

The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.

People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.

In order for me to be successful… In order to be a great artist – musician, actor, painter, whatever – you must be able to be private in public at all times. That is what we do.

See, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what’s happened in your past is not near as important as what’s in your future.

When I say something’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.

Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it; and a man becomes famous because he has the proper stuff in him.

I never woke up and thought, ‚I really want to live a bold life.‘

A leader is a dealer in hope.

Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.

To me, football is so much about mental toughness, it’s digging deep, it’s doing whatever you need to do to help a team win and that comes in a lot of shapes and forms.

When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; do something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about it, does no good; it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else, remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your problem.

I always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

You aren’t going to find anybody that’s going to be successful without making a sacrifice and without perseverance.
