The destiny of every human being is decided by what goes on inside his skull when confronted by what goes on outside his skull.

We are born princes and the civilizing process makes us frogs.

A loser doesn't know what he'll do if he loses, but talks about what he'll do if he wins, and a winner doesn't talk about what he'll do if he wins, but knows what he'll do if he loses.

Awareness requires living in the here and now, and not in the elsewhere, the past or the future.

A winner fulfills his contract with the world and with himself. That is, he sets out to do something, says that he is committed to doing it, and in the long run does it.

Every man must, in a measure, be alone in the world. No heart was ever cast in the same mould as that which we bear within us.
