1) Life's easy when you live it the hard way... and hard if you try to live it the easy way.

2) Your choices are made in a moment, but their consequences will transcend a lifetime.

3) Self-discipline comes down to choosing between instant and delayed gratification.

4) Quitting when you're panicked is dangerous and expensive. The best quitters are the ones who decide in advance when they're going to quit. You can always quit later so wait until you're done panicking to decide.

5) No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

6) In order to succeed, you must have a long-term focus. Most of the challenges in our lives come from a short-term focus.

7) Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.

8)If you use moderation as an excuse not to push your limits, you're mistaking moderation with mediocrity.

9) Most of us dread the deadening of the body and will do anything to avoid it. About the deadening of the soul, however, we don't care one iota.

10) I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next.
