Is an institution always a man's shadow shortened in the sun, the lowest common denominator of everybody in it?
I love the mentality that when push comes to shove, simply work harder and the results will come.
In life, it's not the genetic guy who wins or the guy with the most potential who wins; it's the person with the greatest perseverance who wins. Always be willing to get up and go at it again and again. That's the guy who has his hands raised later in life. That's the guy you guys need to be.
The difference between a winner and a loser - they both failed, but the winner gets back up and does it again and again until it goes his way.
You are what you do repeatedly every day. If excellence is something you're striving for, then it's not an accident. It's a habit.
Success doesn’t know these things about cold or early or tired. It just knows if you showed up or not.
Why cry about missed opportunities when you have the ability to smile at opportunities lived? The past has created who you are NOW, where we learn and grow from the past, never resting upon previous achievements or allowing past failure to paralyze us in our current endeavor. All that was has created us to be the best we currently are for our greatest hour is about to arise!
I have much to teach you. Come and learn the art of war from the one who invented it. (Takeshi)
I was not able to work up much enthusiasm over the ball game, and in the midst of it I was handed a note informing me of the sudden death of Senator Dwight morrow. He had proved a great pillar of strength in the senate and his death was a great loss to the country and to me. I left the ballpark with the chant of the crowd ringing in my ears, 'We Want Beer!'
A lover makes you smile like children smile. That smile that was only meant for you. The half smile. The big shiny smile full of teeth and white enamel and pink gums. The smile that fades in the distance as I drive away in a taxi again.
It's probably not love if you don't press your face to the toilet seat after they've used it to feel their warmth.
