I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

I pray God may preserve your health and life many years.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?
