Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer never give up then for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.

I have made it a rule never to smoke more that one cigar at a time.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing you'll never get it done.

Some people see things that are and ask Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that.

Lost time is never found again.

Look if I ever stop being grateful for gigs I just need to stop. Because this business is... you know it's just so kind of job-to-job and the fact that I've continued working... I'm just incredibly thankful for it. And I never ever take it for granted.

I bless God for this retirement: I never was more thankful for any thing than I have been of late for the necessity I am under of self-denial in many respects.
