The cure for sorrow is to learn something.

Grief is a normal and natural response to loss. It is originally an unlearned feeling process. Keeping grief inside increases your pain.

Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.

I've learned it's always better to have a small percentage of a big success than a hundred percent of nothing.

Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.

I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.

Although in skating you compete with other people anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better learn more learn faster is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life.

Luxury is the wolf at the door and its fangs are the vanities and conceits germinated by success. When an artist learns this he knows where the danger is.

When I finish a picture I don't show it to anyone if I feel it's not good enough yet. I've learnt to listen to my partners and my friends. For me it's the biggest success if they like it.

I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
