The great law of nature is that it never stops. There is no end.

The obstacle is the way.

Great times are great softeners.

In life, it doesn't matter what happens to you or where you came from. It matters what you do with what happens and what you've been given.

The world might call you a pessimist. Who cares? It's far better to seem like a downer than to be blindsided or caught off guard.

No one is asking you to look at the world through rose-colored glasses.

What matters most is not what our obstacles are but how we see them, how we react to them, and whether we keep our composure.

We must remember: There is no easy way.

Genius often really is just persistence in disguise.

True will is quiet humility, resilience, and flexibility; the other kind of will is weakness disguised by bluster and ambition.

First, see clearly. Next, act correctly. Finally, endure and accept the world as it is.

Focus on the moment, not the monsters that may or may not be up ahead.

We must be willing to roll the dice and lose. Prepare, at the end of the day, for none of it to work.

The path of least resistance is a terrible teacher.

Bad companies are destroyed by crisis. Good companies survive them. Great individuals, like great companies, find a way to transform weakness into strength.
