The humanities and the arts only do what is much more precious than making money: they make a world that is worth living in.

Sometimes it is important to wake up and stop dreaming. When a really great dream shows up, grab it!

It is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition.

I believe that if people are not laughing at your ambitions and your goals, then your dreams are not big enough.

As painful as it is, failure has been my friend. And it can be your friend too.

Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.

One thing is for sure — if you never try, you're never going to win.

You should always listen to that God core and care for others, and then you truly will be something special.

Success doesn't come from a high IQ or innate talent. It takes a willingness to work hard. There is just no substitute for hard work and relentless preparation.

You shouldn't be afraid to let passion get behind the wheel — you might really love where you end up.

Failure will teach you things that you can learn no place else. How else will you know yourself or the strength of your friendships until both have been tested by adversity?

Trust yourself. Dig deep down and ask yourselves, who do you want to be? Not what, but who.
