It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness. As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
If you want to be successful, you have to jump, there’s no way around it. When you jump, I can assure you that your parachute will not open right away. But if you do not jump, your parachute will never open. If you’re safe, you’ll never soar!
You have to believe in yourself. That’s the secret.
The temptation for greatness is the biggest drug in the world.

Greatness is a lot of small things done well. Day after day, workout after workout, obedience after obedience, day after day.
I’m about being the best.
This is ten percent luck, Twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent power of will, Five percent pleasure, Fifty percent pain, and a hundred percent reason to remember the name.
Greatness starts with a clear vision of the future.
Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.
Everyone’s always telling you to be humble. When was the last time someone told you to be great?
America is not a mere body of traders; it is a body of free men. Our greatness is built upon our freedom – is moral, not material. We have a great ardor for gain; but we have a deep passion for the rights of man.
