“You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.”

“Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.”

“Before you can express love, you must find love. You must know love within yourself before you can express it. You must love yourself before you can give it to another.”

“It is not important for life to meet your great expectations. What is important is that you hold high expectations of yourself and meet them greatly.”

“Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead. If you could see them clearly, naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them but you can't. You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.”
