But each time, you learn something.”

“Laughter is good for you. Nine out of ten stand-up comedians recommend laughter in the face of intense stupidity.”

“The man once wrote:”

“If you go to your death rather than do everything you might to prevent what is happening, you are merely committing suicide and trying to make yourself feel better about it. That is the act of a coward. It is beneath contempt.”

“You rush a miracle worker, you get lousy miracles!”

“So. You get handed a holy sword by an archangel, told to go fight the forces of evil, and you somehow remain an atheist. Is that what you're saying?”

“Success is a journey that you embark on every day. It is a habit that you cultivate to become great!”

“It takes courage to step outside your comfort zones, and I recommend everyone—at least once in your life—step out of your sheltered illusions and see what you are really made of. See what it truly means to be alive...”

“This was my first lesson about gambling: if you see somebody winning all the time, he isn't gambling, he's cheating. Later on in life, if I were continuously losing in any gambling situation, I would watch very closely.”

“I have learned that when you make big decisions, life says, 'Fuck you. This is what you actually have in store.”

“If you spend all your time thinking about how someone is going to one-up you, you can't put your best foot forward.”

“The time you spend following a success-driven path is time that will pay off in the long run. It is a time that will make you proud of your results.”
