"I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy."
"In life, you need either inspiration or desperation."
"Every problem is a gift - without problems we would not grow."
"In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently."
"If you can't you must, and if you must you can."
"Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up!

Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human."
