It is always impossible until it's done

There are no regrets in life. Just lessons.

If you don't make mistakes, you aren't really trying.

If people knew how hard I worked to achieve my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful after all.

You may get skinned knees and elbows, but it's worth it if you score a spectacular goal.

Don't be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.

Courage doesn't roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I'll try again tomorrow."

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, DO IT.

I think the thing to do is to enjoy the ride while you are on it.

You've got to learn your instrument. Then you practice, practice, practice. And then when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.

Doing the unrealistic is easier than doing the realistic.

When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.

Whatever you are thinking, think BIGGER.

Take a deep breath and don't take any of it too seriously.

We have all heard the forlorn refrain: "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!" This phrase has come to stand for the rueful reflection of an idiot, a sign of stupidity, but in fact we should appreciate it as a pillar of wisdom. Any being, any agent, who can truly say: "Well, it seemed like a good idea at that time!" is standing on the threshold of brilliance.
