A lack of imagination results in a lack of living.

It’s not the gifts or the abilities or the talents that equip us to accomplish great things. Rather, it’s the persistent and adamantly stubborn conviction that we will in no way leave the world the way that we found it. And I would rather join hands with a single person of this kind than sit with a million gifted people who are not of this kind.

The only way to achieve a dream worth dreaming is to accept the reality that each victory that we experience along the way will be preceded by innumerable failures chronically deep and frequently painful. And our ability to deal with these realities are certain to test both the merit of our dream and the depth of our commitment to it.

The risk in reaching for great things is that they might elude our grasp. But have we considered that the ‘reaching’ might in fact have been the great thing?

My vision need not be bigger than the obstacles. It just needs to be more determined.

What you hold in your hand is empowered by what you have in your heart. For power that is not infused by passion only has the illusion of power.

An idea without sacrifice, regardless of grand it might be, will never be anything more than an idea.

I would wonder if the essence of strength lays in the power of passion.

Today is the fodder of tomorrow’s dreams, so we’d be wise to invest in today so that we don’t show up with empty hands tomorrow.
