"For so many years I lived in constant terror of myself. Doubt had married my fear and moved into my mind, where it built castles and ruled kingdoms and reigned over me, bowing my will to its whispers until I was little more than an acquiescing peon, too terrified to disobey, too terrified to disagree. I had been shackled, a prisoner in my own mind.But finally, finally, I have learned to break free."

"Leverage the pain of excuses into the seeds of greatness."
"You should love yourself to an extent where you can't let anyone take advantage of you, no matter who they are."
"If you have legs that work, walk in the right direction. If you have an audible voice, say constructive words. If you have functional eyes, see great things.

When everybody thinks they are the best, everybody falls short of the best that they can actually be."

A pastor who does not teach or pray for people, a football player always playing pool, a body builder who doesn't eat but sleeps all day, a student who studies only towards examinations, a politician without a cause and a business without a customer service culture all have one thing in common " sooner or later they will all become irrelevant. Never miss the chance to practice the call of your mission, even if you are not getting paid for it."
"Most of the great men who converted their time to products although late are still making more impact in the world today than a greater percentage of people who are still alive."
"Give that your one life your best input so that it could yield the best output in the form of products that will impact your world positively."
