The best portion of a good man's life is the little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.

If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page.

To me, a winner is someone who recognizes their God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses those skills to accomplish his goals. Even when I lost, I learned what my weaknesses were and I went out the next day to turn those weaknesses into strengths.

Let a man lose everything else in the world but his enthusiasm and he will come through again to success.

I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity... I didn't feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not - more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving.

Owing our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we'll ever do.

If you keep saying things are going to be bad, you have a chance of being a prophet.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
