- “Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”

- “If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done. Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.”
- “Life itself is your teacher, and your in a state of constant learning.”
- “Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”
- “Fear comes from uncertainty; we can only eliminate the fear within us when we ourselves better.”
- “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless – like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
- “A wise man can learn more from a fool question than a fool can learn from a wise answer,”
- “If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”
