Khalil Gibran Quotes

The summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters.

There's a lot of people on the way up who want to take my place, so it's up to me to continue to improve.

If you stay intent and your ability warrants it, you will eventually reach the top of the mountain.

Success isn't one straight line - it's a ladder, and there's always another rung above you to reach out for. Like anything else, there are ups and downs.

I've always been stimulated by the sense of challenge.

One only gets to the top rung on the ladder by steadily climbing up one at a time, and suddenly, all sorts of powers, all sorts of abilities which you thought never belonged to you - suddenly become within your own possibility and you think, 'Well, I'll have a go, too.'

Somebody told me that if you wake up every day and do stuff that's easy, then you're doing the wrong thing. If you wake up every day and do stuff that's really hard and you manage to get through to people, then you're doing the right thing. They might have just fooled me by telling me that, but it worked. I think that's my philosophy.

I love to strive to be good at stuff that's really hard.

I been through some things but I worked hard to get to where I'm at.

When you've got something to prove, there's nothing greater than a challenge.

I think when you begin to think of yourself as having achieved something, then there's nothing left for you to work towards. I want to believe that there is a mountain so high that I will spend my entire life striving to reach the top of it.

I'm always looking for the next challenge.

What you come to discover is, it isn't how you get there, it's that you get there. If that's what it took to get me where I'm at today, so be it.

I'm one of those people who always needs a mountain to climb. When I get up a mountain as far as I think I'm going to get, I try to find another mountain.

If you don't have a mountain, build one and then climb it. And after you climb it, build another one; otherwise you start to flatline in your life.

It's the journey toward doing these harder climbs that really gives value to the whole activity of climbing.

There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one.

You just have to go as far as you can go. Everyone works his way up.

When I have reached a summit, I leave it with great reluctance, unless it is to reach for another, higher one.

When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins.

There's a lot of guys that just get comfortable with their positions and rest on their laurels. I had to earn my way.

That's what makes me keep playing every day is the fact that I'm not quite there, you know. There's always more for me to be able to do.

I just get bored really quickly and want to push myself to the next level.

I'm not good at being static. I have to be climbing a mountain.

I'm always driven to keep doing something different and better.
