Greatness is not a gift that one can give to another, but rather is a thief's relic that we must take for ourselves.

To get to where you need to be, you have to go where you don't feel prepared to go.

It is unwise to waste in thought what could be earned and secured in action.

It’s not about being ready or feeling prepared all the time; sometimes you just have to do what you know you have to do. And when you do – you will always see that you’re more ready and more prepared than you realize. Never doubt yourself or you may never do anything of significance.

Sometimes the best way to learn a lesson isn't just hearing the words, but putting it into practice by experimenting with it and finding its truth for yourself instead of taking someone else’s word for it.

We are united by something greater and more valuable than our beliefs alone: the freedom to have those beliefs, and believe what we want without persecution - we must protect that at all costs.

Words give inspiration, nothing more. You want redemption? The very thing you seek inspiration for? Fight for it like your life depended on it, because it always does.

Never give up on the possibilities or accept what is when you can see it for what it could be.

If something needs to be done, do it. If something needs to be said, say it.
