Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.
It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit.
Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.
Things live by moving and gain strength as they go.
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success.
Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tired, more hungry. Keep punching.
The road goes ever on and on.
There will always be somebody more successful, more beautiful, more talented. You have to realize, you’re not running their race. You’re running your race.
No matter what comes your way, shake it off and move forward. When you have a positive mindset, you can’t be defeated.
If you wait until you feel like doing something, you will likely never accomplish it.
Don’t bury your failures, let them inspire you.
The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope.
If I’m committed, there is always a way.
If you fall stand tall and come back for more.
Keep trying. It’s only from the valley that the mountain seems high.
Motivation is like bathing. You’ve got to do it every single day.
Lucky is where skill meets persistence.
You never know what’s around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you’ve climbed a mountain.
