“Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.”

“Show your anger when needed. People need to know what irritates you and what doesn’t. But, crucially, remain internally calm. Your anger is only a tool. Don’t become its puppet.”

Take care of your mind, your body will thank you. Take care of your body, your mind will thank you.

“Any alleged right of one man, which necessitates the violation of the rights of another isn’t and can’t be a right.”

“Family is not about blood. It’s about who is willing to hold your hand when you need it the most.”

“Choose thoughts that give you the emotions of being alive and excited about life.”
