Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future.

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

God sleeps in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in animals, and thinks in man.

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

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds.

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

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

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.
