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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

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

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there

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

It always seems impossible until it's done.

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

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

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

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

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

Start, struggle, fail, fix and learn. Repeat.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail
