"Life is short only if you are not living your purpose."

"Don’t let mental blocks control you. Set yourself free. Confront your fear and turn the mental blocks into building blocks."

"You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore."

"The difference between greed and ambition is a greedy person desires things he isn't prepared to work for."

"Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back."

"Your determination and actions define your destination."

"Everywhere we shine death and life burn into something new…"

"Never let haters 'still' your flow. They can only do so with your permission."

"If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality."

"When spontaneous demoralizing thoughts seep into your conscience, don't trip...allowing them to fester. These are random tests of your conviction and determination. Large or small, your reaction to such intrusions is a defining moment for which no one else, but you, can mitigate."

"You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose."

"I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance."

"To ask, 'How do you do it?' is already starting off on the wrong foot. When reaching for the stars, there does not have to be a 'how' if there is a big enough 'why'."

"If happy I can be I will, if suffer I must I can."

"Darling it may be a long time before we see one another again. But I want you to know. Every time I’ve said I love you- I meant it. There’s no two ways about it. The crew was talking about what’s ahead of us, but we all agreed on one thing. We’re coming back."

"He that can have patience can have what he will."

"I'd run my whole life long to reach you; paddle my way across Atlantic and Pacific; traverse Jungle and Desert to find you; climb cliffs and drop from the sky to rescue you. Anything to be close to you. Any way to say I love you."

"Success is a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired."

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things."

"You never know who you're inspiring or uninspiring. People notice more than you think."
