Courage

For me, I'm focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I'm working on it.

I told you all I was going to be No. 1, and I did just that.

Worrying gets you nowhere. If you turn up worrying about how you're going to perform, you've already lost.

I know what I can do, so I never doubt myself.

Warriors don’t show their heart until the battle calls for it.

You can’t be afraid to fail. It’s the only way you succeed.

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.

Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.

If you don't give up, you still have a chance. Giving up is the greatest failure.

Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.

America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.

Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.

Set your mind on a definite goal and observe how quickly the world stands aside to let you pass.

You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
