99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

We all have two lives. The second begins when we realise we only have one. 

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

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

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

When you make a mistake, take another chance. Only when you choose not to do so do you fail.

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

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.

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

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

Each day is an opportunity to improve. Aim to be that little bit better than yesterday and better tomorrow than today.

Success is the sum of small repeated efforts, day in and day out.
