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

It always seems impossible until it's done.

You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.

You can have results or excuses, not both

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

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

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

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Skills are built not born.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.

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

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