"It is not the critic who counts,
nor the man who points out
how the strong man stumbled,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives
valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows great
enthusiasms, great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who,
at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at
the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his
place shall never be with those timid souls
who know neither victory nor
defeat."

Sometimes you have to stand alone to make sure you still can.
"If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live."
"If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open and so is your heart. And though there may be times when your hands are empty, you heart is always full, and you can give out of that."
People will follow your footsteps faster than your advice.
"Opportunities are usually disguised by hard work, so most people don't realize them."
Excellence is only possible if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible.
"There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as my last. There's only us, there's only this. Forget, regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road, no other way. No day by today."
To the world you may be just one person. But to one person, you may be the world.
"It's hard to beat a person who never gives up."
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on."
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify, or villafy them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. "

It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter if you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be running."
"Experience is not what happens to a man, it's what a man does with what happens to him."
