“You learn from success, kid – not failure. If you’ve
only touched it once , a term paper, a temp job, hitting a homer, dissect it.
Was it timing, focus, homework? Get to the core. Find the whys, the hows. That’s
the key. Use it … go with it, don’t be afraid. When you get your shot, then you’ll
be ready. Success ain’t easy, kid, but the more you taste it, the easier it
gets. No different with failure” The wise man smiled. “The more you taste it,
the more you get it.” Putting his fingers to his lips, “Shhh … don’t spread it.
It’s tough enough out there. Keep it to yourself.” (Robert Evans, The Kid Stays
in the Picture)  

Our Deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
And Fabulous –
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people
Won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some of us: it is in everyone,
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
Give other people permission to do the same.
(Nelson Mandela addresses these words of Marianna Williamson’s to the world at large)

You are only a success at the moment that you do a successful act. (Tex Winter)    

Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose. (George S. Patton)   

Make no small plans for they have not the power to stir men’s blood. (Niccolo Machiavelli) 

You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good. (Jerry West)

Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability. (John Wooden) 

Nobody's a natural. You work hard to get good and then work hard to get better. (Paul Coffey)

There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either in or out. There's no such thing as a life in-between. (Pat Riley)  

Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure. (Confucius)

Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something…hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication. (Roger Staubach)  

If it aint written down, it’s not collectable. (Robert Evans)

I Love Getting Up In the Morning, I Clap My Hands and say “ This Is Gonna Be a Great Day” (Dicky Fox)

“You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game – life or football – the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!” (Tony D'Amato, "Any Given Sunday") 

Cosmo Kramer: The bus is outta control. So I grab him by the collar, I take him out of the seat, I get behind the wheel, and now I'm driving the bus.
Jerry: Wow.
George Costanza: You're Batman.
Cosmo Kramer: Yeah, yeah, I am Batman. Then the mugger, he comes to and he starts choking me. So I'm fighting him off with one hand and I kept driving the bus with the other, ya know. Then I managed to open up the door and I kicked him out the door, ya know, with my foot, ya know, at the next stop.
Jerry: You kept making all the stops?
Cosmo Kramer: Well, people kept ringing the bell. (Seinfeld)
