Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself

Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on

Holding onto your anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die

It’s not that I’m so smart. It’s just that I stay with problems longer

We don’t have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined than the rest

It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows

The time is always right to do what is right

There are only two great tragedies in life: one is not getting what you want and the other is getting it

Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit

We are what we repeatedly do, Excellence is therefore not an act but a habit

It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity
