A crusade is, simply put, something that's bigger than you are. It's a "cause" with an impact that reaches beyond your personal wants and needs.

Remember, before you can be great, you've got to be good. Before you can be good, you've got to be bad. But before you can even be bad, you've got to try.

I'm not telling you it is going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.

Most people can stay excited for two or three months. A few people can stay excited for two or three years. But a winner will stay excited for twenty or thirty years...or as long as it takes to win.

Win with your heart, not your head - win on emotion, not in logic; have a passion about what you do; nobody wants a boss, everybody wants a coach.

Think of everybody you talk to as having a flashing sign on their chest saying: Make me feel special!

The number one problem that keeps people from winning in the United States today is lack of belief in themselves.

All you can do is all you can do, but all you can do is enough.

The human being is so complicated in some ways, and yet so simple in others. Sometimes, we need complex medication regimens. Yet, sometimes, we just need a good cry.

This heart is a hurricane, turbulent with ache screaming winds of grief waiting to make the skyfall, to pluck the cloudsfrom their beds with itswhipping winds

Even if I am not the honestest type in the world I don't want to lie more than is average.

Everyone has the power to inspire and serve the world.

The awful thing is that you can never be aware of what you are not aware of.

It could end up like the Dog & Duck against the Red Lion.

The book that I shall make people read is the book of the heart, which holds the key to the mystery of life

All this [wealth] excludes but one evil, poverty.

...A scar signifies past pain, a wound that did not heal as it ought. But it testifies, too, to survival...(Here be Dragons)
