It's not bragging if you can back it up.

If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it.

You could be the world's best garbage man, the world's best model; it don't matter what you do if you're the best.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again.

I do not believe in taking the right decision, I take a decision and make it right.

Don't count the days, make the days count.

There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

Through Love all that is bitter will be sweet, Through Love all that is copper will be gold, Through Love all dregs will become wine, through Love all pain will turn to medicine.

I think it is incumbent on anyone who can to lift human dignity to the highest possible levels, maintaining one's own and helping to raise that of others.

The wisest man may always learn something from the humblest peasant.

I welcome every chance I get to interact with fans. I've made some very close friendships amongst fans, and I look forward to seeing them.

The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.
