Act like a champion, and then become one.

If you are able to focus unswervingly on your goals, then all that you desire will become yours.

To think is good. To obsess is bad.

If not you, who?

If not now, when?

Mix with positive-minded people as a means to tap into your unexploited potential.

Success is simply never giving in to failure - either in mind or body.

There are three types of people in this world. Firstly, there are people who make things happen. Then there are people who watch things happen. Lastly, there are people who ask, what happened? Which do you want to be?

If obstacles are large, jump higher.

When you think a positive thought, you become positive.

It is true to say that the secret of a winning formula is the ability to accept that there is a vast area of unexploited potential beyond what you currently perceive to be your maximum.

Just identify the very first physical action you need to take, and do it.

Every time a champion makes a decision they have a chance to learn something new, regardless of the outcome.

Invest your energy in the things you can control.

The first step is the most important. It is the most crucial and the most effective as it will initiate the direction you have chosen.

Your current apathy is simply your soul telling you that it is confused.

See it first in your mind, then become it.

If you want to continue to be the best in the world, then you have to train and compete like you are second best in the world.
