Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
Seeing, feeling, thinking, believing — these are the stages of how we change our style on the outside and our self-image on the inside.
All the time he's boxing, he's thinking. All the time he was thinking, I was hitting him.
I've run into people in my life who were so dramatic; people who are so extreme and so frustrating to be around that you end up thinking about them and talking about them for literally years after your experience with them is over. I've had that happen to me, and I've seen it happen to other people. I find it fascinating.

When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; do something fruitful.

Worrying will not solve your problem.
I looked at Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and the boys up there thinking, I want to be that.
When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.
To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.
Every time a meteor comes close to the earth, we all think about the end of the world — but our internal soundtrack doesn't turn off. We're also thinking about pizza or passing a slow tractor or making a turn, and for a magical instant, our lives seem to be in conversation with the stars.
