- "I have never read of a great achiever who didn’t wait longer than he expected before his vision became tangible achievements. You will be tried and refined in the blazing furnace of the truly great. It’s going to be tough for you but it is this process that will make you a champion and one of the shining stars of this generation and to the unborn generations.”

- The good news is that obstacles are your helpers; they are character molders and teachers of deeper truth about humanity and the workings of society.”

- “History is full of examples of men and women who have redeemed themselves from disgrace, poverty, and misfortune, by the firm resolution of an iron will. Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered, and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds. Not the distance we have run, but the obstacles we have overcome, the disadvantages under which we have made the race, will decide the prizes.”
- “A wise writer once stated “A good chance alone is nothing. Education is nothing without strong and vigorous resolution and stamina to make one accomplish something in the world. An encouraging start is nothing without a backbone. A youth who cannot stand erect, who wobbles first one way and then the other, who has no opinion of his own, or courage to think his own thoughts, is of very little use in this world. It is grit, it is perseverance, it is moral stamina and courage that govern the world.”
