True champions, like the sun, cannot be eclipsed for long.

If you plan to walk in the footsteps of the great, be prepared to walk with sores on your feet.

Become so good they can’t ignore you, and you are on the path to success. Become so good they can’t stand you, and you are on the path to greatness.

Passion takes you to the mountain foot; talent takes you to the mountaintop; brilliance takes you to the sky; genius takes you to the stars.

Strive to be more than number one—strive to be the greatest number one.

A diamond does not complain about the discomfort of being polished; for in the end it knows it will shine.
