Raising children is an uncertain thing success is reached only after a life of battle and worry.

The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved not because it is sought after.

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling as in all careers of importance victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

After I won the Oscar my salary doubled my friends tripled my children became more popular at school my butcher made a pass at me and my maid hit me up for a raise.

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.

Running gave me a focus to start looking after myself to eat properly and focus on building up my strength.

Every social organisation which is rooted in life still lasts a long time even after the conditions from which it drew its strength have changed in a manner unfavourable to it.

The type of cuisine I do especially after being on 'Iron Chef' for several years is a lot of global cuisine. My strength has always been Mediterranean cuisine across the board from Morocco Spain Italy Greece France but I think now I'm doing a lot of very different cuisines all the time.

God is waiting eagerly to respond with new strength to each little act of self-control small disciplines of prayer feeble searching after him. And his children shall be filled if they will only hunger and thirst after what he offers.

Yes forget your weakness whatever that weakness may be. It is egotism it is selfishness after. all for it is a dwelling on self. Forget your weakness and remember your strength.
