The boxer is not afraid of being knocked down, he is afraid of not being able to get up again.

You can have results or excuses, not both

The greatest glory in loving lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

He who has begun his task is half-way done. Have the courage to begin!

Focus on progress, not perfection. Practise a little bit every day - little and often  Slow and steady wins the race.

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

Do what you have always done and you will always be what you have always been

Success is not final, failure is not fatal.  It is the courage to continue that counts.

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.
