When I am through learning, I am through.
It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
Respect a man, and he will do all the more.
It is harmful to compare yourself to others. Others will do that for you.
How you run the race - your planning, preparation, practice, and performance - counts for everything. Winning or losing is a by-product, and aftereffect, of that effort.
Never allow anyone else to define your success.
