If you are going through hell, keep going.

It is very important that you only do what you love to do. You may be poor, you may go hungry, you may lose your car, you may have to move into a shabby place to live, but you will totally live. And at the end of your days you will bless your life because you have done what you came here to do.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.

We’re so caught up in trying to do everything, experience all the essential things, not miss out on anything important...We can’t read all the good books, watch all the good films, go to all the best cities in the world, try all the best restaurants, meet all the great people...Life is better when we don’t try to do everything. Learn to enjoy the slice of life you experience, and life turns out to be wonderful.

Don't wait. The time will never be just right.

Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too can become great.

The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs… one step at a time.

Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.

Quitting is difficult. Quitting requires you to acknowledge that you’re never going to be number 1 in the world. At least not at this. So it’s easier just to put it off, not admit it, settle for mediocre. What a waste.

You've got what it takes, but it's going to take all you've got

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.

Some of us give up on life with only a resigned sigh. Others fight a little then lose hope. Still others—and I am one of those—never give up. We fight and fight and fight. We fight no matter the cost of battle, the losses we take, the improbability of success. We fight to the very end. It’s not a question of courage. It’s something constitutional, an inability to let go.

Some people are settling down, some people are settling, and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies.

There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few that will catch your heart. Pursue them.

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
