Perjalanan ribuan mil dimulai dengan langkah pertama

Jangan menunggu; tidak akan pernah ada waktu yang tepat. Mulailah di mana pun Anda berada, dan bekerja dengan alat apa pun yang Anda miliki. Peralatan yang lebih baik akan ditemukan ketika Anda melangkah

Hambatan tidak bisa menghentikan Anda. Masalah tidak bisa menghentikan Anda. Orang lain tidak bisa menghentikan Anda. Hanya Anda yang bisa menghentikan Anda

Juara adalah pecundang yang bangkit dan mencoba sekali lagi

Saya telah gagal dalam 9.000 tembakan. Saya telah kalah hampir 300 pertandingan. Saya 26 kali gagal saat dipercaya menembakan bola yang memenangi pertandingan. Saya gagal dan gagal lagi dalam kehidupan. Dan itulah mengapa saya sukses

Sukses adalah kemampuan untuk melangkah dari kegagalan tanpa hilang antusiasme

Sukses berkaitan dengan tindakan. Orang sukses terus melangkah. Mereka membuat kesalahan namun tidak menyerah

Ada dua aturan untuk menjadi sukses. Pertama, cari tahu hal yang ingin Anda lakukan. Kedua, lakukan hal tersebut

Hambatan itu sering menjadi batu pijakan

Mengetahui saja tidak cukup; kita harus menerapkan. Keinginan saja tidak cukup; kita harus melakukan

Sukses itu tidak diukur oleh posisi yang telah diraih seseorang dalam kehidupan, tapi hambatan yang telah ia atasi saat berusaha untuk sukses

Jika Anda ingin membuat mimpi Anda menjadi kenyataan, hal pertama yang harus Anda lakukan adalah bangun

Kita jangan menyerah dan jangan membiarkan masalah mengalahkan kita

Saya belum gagal. Saya hanya menemukan 10.000 cara yang tidak efektif

Anda tidak harus hebat untuk memulai, tapi Anda harus memulai untuk menjadi orang hebat

Orang yang tidak pernah membuat kesalahan adalah orang yang tidak pernah mencoba sesuatu yang baru

Tidak ada pekerjaan yang susah jika Anda membaginya menjadi pekerjaan-pekerjaan kecil

Tindakan adalah kunci dasar untuk semua kesuksesan

Cara untuk memulai adalah berhenti berbicara dan mulai melakukan

Anda tidak akan pernah mencapai sukses kecuali jika Anda menyukai apa yang Anda lakukan

Pemimpin sukses harus merencanakan pekerjaannya dan mengerjakan rencana tersebut

Visi tanpa eksekusi adalah halusinasi

I can write absolutely anywhere. All I need is a laptop.

Dresses are beautiful, but I'm such a slacks or a jeans person. Whenever a woman has a slick suit or dress on, she looks sharp.

Pa did not like a country so old and worn out that the hunting was poor. He wanted to go west. For two years he had wanted to go west and take a homestead, but Ma did not want to leave the settled country.

Love is never supposed to hurt. Love is supposed to heal, to be your haven from misery, to make living worthwhile.

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.

Beneficial in theory, so-called free trade agreements far too often have been detrimental to the United States economy and the manufacturing sector that forms its central pillar.

Everything lives and lasts by the inner necessity of its being, by its own nature's need.

When you hear the word 'disabled,' people immediately think about people who can't walk or talk or do everything that people take for granted. Now, I take nothing for granted. But I find the real disability is people who can't find joy in life and are bitter.

You know, in each segment of ex-Yugoslavia, multi-ethnic life is lost, except I think we somehow still have this in Serbia.

I grew up in the countryside with the factory here, my house 200 metres away, my grandma's house 50 metres away, in a kind of old-style Italian society where everyone works for the family business, everyone lives nearby, and the people you spend your time with are your family.

Our village life would stagnate if it were not for the unexplored forests and meadows which surround it.

We're all comedy fans in my family. My parents mainly wouldn't let me watch stuff that was either annoying to them, or just garbage.

But he would let us stay up really late in the summer and watch old 'Honeymooners'.

Maybe the thing to do after you roll the dice and lose is simply pick them up and roll them again.

I like the idea of isolation, I like the idea of solitude. You can be connected and have a phone and still be lonely.

Just to go into a shop without getting stared at would be nice. I mean, I don't walk around like, 'Oh, I'm trying to be famous' - I try to lead as normal a life as possible - but sometimes it's annoying. It's fine; it's not a massive problem, but sometimes it's just a bit uncomfortable.

So organic farming practices are something that, to me, are interlinked with the idea of using biodiesel.

I guess what led to me writing 'Holes' was having moved to Texas in 1991, and it was sort of my reaction to Texas.
