"Attach yourself to your passion, but not to your pain. Adversity is your best friend on the path to success."
"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."
"God gave us two ends. One to sit on, and one to think with. Success depends on which one you use; heads you win; tails, you lose."
