If those who cause destruction have come to be ‘newsworthy’, and those who heal the devastation of that destruction have come to be less than ‘noteworthy’, has our thirst to be entertained become the truly destructive thing?0
You can measure a man by the inches lost in his failures, or you can measure a man by the miles forged in his refusal to give up despite the pain of the inches.1
It is the doubt of success that insures the fulfillment of that doubt.2
The light at the end of the tunnel doesn’t matter if you’re going backwards.3
Depravity has nothing to do with wealth.4
Even if yesterday was wildly successful, I still don’t want to repeat it. Rather, I want to build on it.5
At the point that I lay on my deathbed or find myself at the end of my life in whatever way that might come, I want to know with assurance that I squeezed everything out of my life and into the lives of those around me. I want to be wrung dry. I want to be a limp rag empty of everything. For if there is even the slightest hint of moisture within me that I somehow did not squeeze out into the life of someone else, I may have done well in life, but I nonetheless carried something to my grave that should have been left in the life of someone now standing at my graveside. And to die empty is the passion that wrings me dry in the living of my days.6
Success is not determined by how many times we cross the finish line. Rather, it’s determined by the amount of times that we return to the starting block because the failure to cross the finish line is unacceptable.7
Success may not have been ‘around the corner,’ but the fact that I persisted until I was is success.8
The most critical time in any battle is not when I’m fatigued, it’s when I no longer care.9
Sometimes the greatest victories are neither great nor victories.10
I would tell you to never give up. You may need to tighten your plan, adjust your pace, redistribute your resources, tweak your trajectory, or backup just enough to regain the objectivity that you may have lost. You may need to eliminate the naysayers, rub shoulders with the visionaries, leave the cowards to the smallness of their existence, hike with those who traverse horizons, and ride hard with those who refuse to live in the rear mirrors of life. Therefore, if I were to tell you to give up, I would tell you to give up everything that are not these things.11
Too often surrender is exhaustion that was teetering on the edge of victory.12
Real relationships are the product of time spent, which is why so many of us have so few of them.13
I am often too consumed with living to determine if that’s what I’m actually doing.14
I have defined victory not by the outcome of any battle, but by the integrity with which I fought the battle.15
