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

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.

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

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

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.

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

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

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