You are born weak and die weak, what you are in between those two periods of time is up to you
Let the past help shape who you will be but never define who you are
Doubt me, hate me, you're the inspiration I need
"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals."
Every man dies. Not every man truly lives.
aint 'nuttin to it, but to do it.
The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.
-Hamilton Wright Mabie
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
-Theodore Roosevelt
Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
-Sun Tzu
"You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try."
History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.
--Sir Winston Churchill
I will not allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure.
Og Mandino

A man is not old until regrets start taking place of dreams..

^Drill Sargent in Full Metal Jacket!
Character is who you are when no one's watching
The Journey Of A Thousand Miles Begins With A Single Step

lifes a game of give and take
"The difference between a successful person and others is not lack of strength not a lack of knowledge but rather a lack of will" –Vince Lombardi
An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil—he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego. The other is good—he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too. They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win, Grandfather?” The Elder simply replied, “The one you feed.”
“The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that.” ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
"Dream is not that which you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep." - APJ Abdul Kalam
"Nothing tastes as good as it feels to be in shape"
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink".-Old English Homilies
“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.” –Michelangelo
Champions are an example of what happens when you aspire to leave the plane of average thinking -Kai Greene
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
― Steve Jobs
