Believe while others are doubting.
Plan while others are playing.
Study while others are sleeping.

How can someone who can’t motivate himself motivate others?

I've been in the inventor business for 33 years and my experience is that for every problem the Lord has made, He has also made a solution.

If anyone has the right to be called a hero, It’s not the one who took up the blade. It’s not the one who raised his shield, nor the one who healed the wounded. Only one who truly risks his life may be called a hero. Protect your friends, save the girl, and face danger. It doesn’t matter if you fall. No, that’s just fine. Cry your heart out over it. Within the defeated, a victor waits to emerge. Stay true to your wishes. Cry out your desires. And if you do that’s what will make you the coolest hero! Let your longings burn! Scream out your wishes!

— I know what I'm fighting for... my family. What are you fighting for?
