"Every time you win, it diminishes the fear a little bit. You never really cancel the fear of losing; you keep challenging it."
"From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life."
"One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation."
"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can."
"Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome."
"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost."
"You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing."
