“Success comes to us when we have a burning desire to achieve and we focus our full power on achieving that.”

“Everybody achieves success in life—a blessed few early in their careers, the rest of us when we lower our standards”

“The walls in front of us are not there to keep us from achieving our desire. They are there to see how bad we want what we desire.”

“And to all those who have wondered if Americas beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.For that is the true genius of America - that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.”

“One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.”

“Without failure, we could not relish in the achievement of our successes.”
