"Be a first rate version of yourself. Not a second rate of someone else."

"Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing."

"When you’re at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on."

"Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken."

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, 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 dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

"You can sleep when you’re dead"

"Girls don’t like losers."
