But when I felt like I had something to prove? Then I got up early every morning and worked all day long. I didn't know if I had any more talent than anyone else directing, but I knew I could work hard at it, and so I did.

Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due.

W. R. [William Ralph] Inge

Real worth requires no interpreter: its everyday deeds form its emblem.

Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort

The message that I gave on the - on the steps today was that you need to stand for those things that are right and empower the individual. Believe in the power of one person. Don't believe that you can't do it. Everybody wants - everybody wants a shot. That we can all agree on. Beyond that, it becomes politics. I'm not talking politics.

Glenn Beck

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal (John 12:25).

Bible

You might sooner get lightning out of incense smoke than true action or passion out of your modern English religion.

John Ruskin

He who has attained the freedom of reason to any extent cannot, for a long time, regard himself otherwise than as a wanderer on the face of the earth - and not even as a traveler towards a final goal, for there is no such thing. But he certainly wants to observe and keep his eyes open to whatever actually happens in the world; therefore he cannot attach his heart too firmly to anything individual; he must have in himself something wandering that takes pleasure in change and transitoriness.

Friedrich Nietzsche

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

John C. Maxwell

If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Albert Einstein

Being a leader is making the people you love hate you a little more each day.

Patrick Ness

Though it may be interesting to know how many hairs there are on the human head, or how the giant red spot on the surface of Jupiter was formed, the real truths we are interested in are those about ourselves.

Stephen Richards

A hen is only a egg's way of making another egg.

Samuel Butler, Life and Habit

He who weeps does not die; weeping is a sign of life; weep, and your life is worth something again.

Halldór Laxness
