I don't really believe that you need to be married to someone to be their life partner.

Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get there, and one day it will come true.

When you fall, get right back up. Just keep going, keep pushing it.

I think the most important thing in skiing is you have to be having fun. If you're having fun, then everything else will come easy to you.

I want to keep pushing the limits to see what’s possible. That’s the nice thing about ski racing - no one is stopping you from going faster.

I find folding laundry very relaxing.

If you go around being afraid, you're never going to enjoy life. You have only one chance, so you've got to have fun.

You are only limited to what you push yourself to, you know? You can always get better.

I don't give up easily. I have plans to be around for a while.

I'm never tired of winning, and I'm never tired of skiing.

I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked.

If we learn to love someone for their imperfections that reflect our own, we eventually appreciate the thought that even the most beautiful things are damaged

Schooling gives you knowledge, but education makes you wise.

The heart senses who is friend and who is no friend.

Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit there from.

A heresy can spring only from a system that is in full vigor.

Failing to differentiate among employees — and holding on to bottom-tier performers — is actually the cruelest form of management there is.

It feels like I'm starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.

I was loved as a kid; I was raised with more love and emotional support than most folks could wish for my memories aged nought to ten are all bound up together in a mesh of innocence and fun.

Every painting I do is related to the last one: it may be a continuation of a previous painting or it may be a reaction against it.

Remember to connect with people now and then. In fact, pick up the phone, right now, and call a friend for no other reason than to say hi.
