Real bravery lies in deeds, not words.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

What though strength fails? Boldness is certain to win praise. In mighty enterprises, it is enough to have had the determination.

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?

Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.

You don’t just luck into things as much as you’d like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it’s friendships or opportunities.

If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.

Anybody can become angry—that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way—that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.

A fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offense to everything.

Man's tongue is soft, and bone doth lack; yet a stroke therewith may break a man's back.

Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even dearth is one of the things that Nature wills.

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life—and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.
