Courage

I mandate that you continue to dream the wild dreams that you dreamed when you were young.

I have discovered that it is just as easy or just as hard to climb a tall mountain as it is to climb a small mountain—so why not go for it!

The important test is whether you can get back up after being knocked down and risk failure again.

Don't let anybody tell you that there's some obstacle that you can't overcome or some dream that you cannot realize.

From fear to freedom. That's it. To free yourself of the stuff that's been imposed on you.

Failure is merely a dress rehearsal for future success. The strength of your character comes not from how you react to your successes, but from how you react to your failures.

Real leadership comes from the quiet nudging of an inner voice. It comes from realizing that the time has come to move beyond preparing to doing.

We keep waiting until we run out of 'untils.' Then it is too late. Our plane has crashed and we haven't done anything about it. We have passed through life without truly exploring its possibilities.

The thing you fear most in this life is the thing you will become when you grow old.

Graduate now. We are pushing you out of the tub, out of the nest, out into the world, a world which we think that you will find is at least your older brother and a place where you belong.

Your integrity is not for sale.

Be fearless. Have the courage to take risks. Go where there are no guarantees. Get out of your comfort zone, even if it means being uncomfortable.
