I believe that the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

Pretend you’re more obsessed with this moment and a little bit less with the way it ends.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, but it empties it of its strength.

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

If it is true for you, it is true for someone else, and you are no longer alone.
