“When life gets you down... stand on top of it.”

“You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.”

“Getting to the top is optional. Getting down is mandatory.”

“Every human being on the face of the earth has a steel plate in his head, but if you lie down now and then and get still as you can, it will slide open like elevator doors, letting in all the secret thoughts that have been standing around so patiently, pushing the button for a ride to the top. The real troubles in life happen when those hidden doors stay closed for too long.”

“Stand at the top of a cliff and jump off and build your wings on the way down.”

“Mr Churchill, to what do you attribute your success in life?Conservation of energy. Never stand up when you can sit down. And never sit down when you can lie down.”
