Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see.

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

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us in joy we face the storm and defy it.

The only thing that ultimately matters is to eat an ice-cream cone, play a slide trombone, plant a small tree, good God, now you're free.

Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.
