Words to Live By
- Be fast or be last.
- Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing.
- People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they don't find them, make them.
- It matters not what you learn, but once you learned a thing you must never give it up until you have mastered it. It matters not what you try to think out, but once you try to think out a thing you must never give up until you have got what you want. It matters not what you carry out, but when you once try to carry out a thing you must never give it up until you have done it thoroughly and well. If one man succeeds by one effort, you will use a hundred efforts. If another man succeeds by ten efforts, you will use a thousand efforts. Let a man proceed in this manner and though dull, he will surely become intelligent; though weak, he will surely become strong.
- The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
- Silence is golden.
- It's better to live one day like a lion than 100 years like a sheep.
- No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.
- It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause. Who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement and who, at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. So his place shall never be with those cold and timid who know neither victory nor defeat.
- Where there's a will, there's a way.
