Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.
We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.
Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
Your heaviest artillery will be your will to live. Keep that big gun going.
If you don't ask, you don't get.
