It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

A man who lacks purpose distracts himself with pleasure.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.

Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay its price.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.

To win any battle, you must fight as if you are already dead.

A winner is just a loser who tried one more time.

No man is free who cannot control himself.

Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo.

In serenity, maintain vigilance. In turmoil, uphold tranquility.

Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness.

The real risk is doing nothing.

The more I see, the less I know for sure.

Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to go to his class.

People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them.

Always look for the fool in the deal. If you don't find one, it's you.

Fast is fine, but accuracy is final. You must learn to be slow in a hurry.

To lead an orchestra, you must turn your back on the crowd.

Mirror is my best friend, because when I cry it never laughs.
