If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, ''Here comes number seventy-one!''

The easiest thing to find on God's green earth is someone to tell you all the things you cannot do.

You make up your mind before you start that sacrifice is part of the package.

Life... It tends to respond to our outlook, to shape itself to meet our expectations.

If you have a dream, give it a chance to happen.

The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.

Great moments await around every corner.
