Ambition

Life will happen to you, whether you try to guide it or not, so you might as well try to influence the outcome. You have to know what you want and you have to be willing to go after it.

Go play in traffic, and find out what's possible. You won't make a difference by sitting on the sidelines.

Anything is possible. Say it with me: Anything is possible.

Whatever you think or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

The secret ingredient to a life well lived is moxie — a mixture of being bold, fearless, and a little outrageous.

In dreams begin responsibility.

Dreaming during turbulent times indeed takes courage, but an even greater valor is required once those dreams are fulfilled.

Do not let any obstacles — personal, political, or economic — impede you. And once you've fulfilled your dreams, know that that is when you're liable to confront the greatest challenges. But so, too, may you derive the privilege of service.

Our problems are manmade — therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.

When given the choice between fame and glory, take glory. Glory has a way of sneaking up on fame and stealing its lunch money later anyway.

Hopefully life is long. Do stuff you will enjoy thinking about and telling stories about for many years to come. Do stuff you will want to brag about.

Don't expect your ship to come in unless you sent one out.
