It’s the one thing you can control. You are responsible for how people remember you—or don’t. So don’t take it lightly.

Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and heartache…

The most important thing is you must put everybody on notice that you’re here and you are for real.

Pain doesn’t tell you when you ought to stop. Pain is the little voice in your head that tries to hold you back because it knows if you continue you will change.

I realized that intimidation didn’t really exist if you’re in the right frame of mind.

Once you know what failure feels like, determination chases success.

The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.

My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.

I'll tell you what I was like as a child. I was a good person. I was high-spirited but I was a big reader.

Britishness is just a way of putting things together and a certain don't care attitude about clothes. You don't care, you just do it and it looks great.

In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

If you want to truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between “for” and “against” is the mind’s worst disease.

There is no such thing as defeat until you admit so yourself, but not until then!

If you want to do your duty properly, you should do just a little more than that.

What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

“You only have one life, but if you live it well, that’s enough. The only reality is now, today. What are you waiting for to be happy?” 

“You are the storyteller of your own life, and you can create your own legend, or not.” 

“If what you want is the effect of painting, then paint, Aurora. If what you want is truth, learn to use your camera," he would say again and again” 

“Before you conquer the mountain, you must learn to overcome your fear.” 

“Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.”

“You are what you believe yourself to be.”

“Don’t explain. Your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you.”

Great creative work isn’t possible if you’re trying to piece together 30 minutes here and 45 minutes there.
