If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.

Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

Have the courage to be ignorant of a great number of things, in order to avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything.

Just saying you are better than good won’t make it so. But, when you understand what it takes to live the better than good life, and you apply yourself, your life will truly be better than good.

I was relentless, even in the face of total lack of encouragement, because much more often than you’d think, sheer persistence is the difference between success and failure.

You’ll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never.

The harder I work, the luckier I get. When you have momentum going, play the momentum.

Use your work to better yourself.

Successful people are those who are willing to delay gratification and make sacrifices in the short term so that they can enjoy far greater rewards in the long term.

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

FEAR has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise.’ The choice is yours.

Some people make things happen, some people watch things happen, and some ask what happened.

Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.
