You must be worthy of the best, but not more worthy than the rest. ”

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. ”

Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods. ”

Chase your passion, not your pension. ”

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience. ”

The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile. ”

Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience. ”

Success in life comes not from holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well. ”

A life lived with integrity - even if it lacks the trappings of fame and fortune is a shining star in whose light others may follow in the years to come. ”

Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing. ”
