Skills are built not born.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

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