You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

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

Go as far as you can see, when you get there, you’ll be able to see further

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

It is never too late to become what you might have been

There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do

Patience is when you’re supposed to get mad, but you choose to understand

Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner

Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it.

If you can understand just one thing thoroughly, then you will understand everything.

Work like you don't need the money, dance like nobody's watching and love like you've never been hurt. 

Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.
