Never be ashamed of your patriotism.
Love your work, then you will find pleasure in mastering it.
A racehorse that consistently runs just a second faster than another horse is worth millions of dollars more. Be willing to give that extra effort that separates the winner from the one in second place.
Fight fairly. Give generously. Laugh loudly. Love deeply.
Believe in miracles but don't depend on them.
Lie on your back and look at the stars.
