“We spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.”
— Will Smith
“Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.”
“Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.”
“You don’t set out to build a wall. You don't say ‘I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built.’ You don’t start there. You say, ‘I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid.’ You do that every single day. And soon you have a wall.”
“Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period.”
“Being realistic is the most common path to mediocrity.”
“Running and reading are the keys of life.”
“Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions.”

“If you’re absent during my struggle, don’t expect to be present during my success.”
“There are so many people who have lived and died before you. You will never have a new problem; you're not going to ever have a new problem. Somebody wrote the answer down in a book somewhere.”
“Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.”
“The person that works the hardest wins.”
“You want something? Go get it.”
“The greatest dreams are always unrealistic.”
“Those who say I can, and those who say I can’t – are both usually right.”
“Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.”
“I want the world to be better because I was here. I want my life, I want my work, my family, I want it to mean something and if you are not making someone else’s life better then you are wasting your time.”
“I know who I am, I know what I believe, that’s all I need to know. From there, you do what you need to do.”
“Don’t let failure go to your heart, and don’t let success go to your head.”
“Danger is very real but fear is a choice.”
“And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy’s sleeping? I’m working.”
“Begin each day as if it were on purpose.”
“I want the world to be better because I was here.”
“Make a choice of what you want, who you want to be and how you’re going to do it. The universe will get out of your way.”
“Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice.”
“I do not have to build a perfect wall today. I just have to lay a perfect brick.”
“I’m motivated by fear. Fear of fear. I hate being scared to do something. And I think what developed in my early days was the attitude that I started attacking things that I was scared of.”
“I don’t want to be an icon. I want to be an idea. I want to represent possibilities.”
“The keys to life are running and reading.”
“Can I say something? Um, I’m the type of person that if you ask me a question and I don’t know the answer, I’m gonna tell you that I don’t know. But I bet you what, I know how to find the answer and I will find the answer.”
“I’m not afraid to die on a treadmill.”
“You are who you associate with. Look around at your five closest friends and that’s who you are. If you don’t want to be that person, you know what you gotta do.”
“Sometimes you have to forget what’s gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what’s coming next.”
“You’ll never achieve 100 percent if 99 percent is okay.”
“I love you and I’m here for you.”
“I’ve always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.”
“Money and success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.”
“If you’re always ready, you don’t have to get ready.”
“Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.”
“Remember, don’t try to build the greatest wall that’s ever been built. Focus on laying a single, expertly-placed brick. Then keep doing that, every day.”
“It’s better to be prepared than to get ready.”
“So if you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life.”
“Your life will become better by making other lives better.”
“Never lie to people, because the people you are able to lie to, are the people who trust you.”
“Smiling is the best way to face every problem, to crush every fear, to hide every pain.”
“Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. Why would you be realistic? What’s the point of being realistic? I’m going to do it. It’s done. It’s already done. The second I decide it’s done, it’s already done.”
