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

Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.

I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.

Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them.

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

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

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

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

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

Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go they merely determine where you start.
