Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece - by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

Spend your life lifting people up, not putting them down.

Be willing to lose a battle in order to win the war.

If your life is free of failures, you're not taking enough risks.

When starting out, don't worry about not having enough money. Limited funds are a blessing, not a curse. Nothing encourages creative thinking in quite the same way.

It doesn't take talent to hustle.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.
