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

The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

If you fail, next time fail better.

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.

Practice like you’ve never won. Perform like you’ve never lost.

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

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

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

You can have results or excuses, not both

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

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

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

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.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail
