Even the most seemingly unpleasant situations - if you become aligned with it, something good will emerge from that.
We can't worry about who we don't have. We have to go into these games with the guys we have.
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
Every crowd has a silver lining.
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
I grew up in a house my parents built together on a mountain in Tennessee. When we moved in, the walls were still going up, we didn't have hot water, and we turned it into an amazing adventure.
A lot of life is about trying to turn bad experiences into something good. Usually if you work at it, you can figure out a way to do it. Even our worst misfortunes are gifts.
No matter what you thought your plans were, that's not how things are going to work out, and that's the only way you can really, I think, live successfully.
We must find our duties in what comes to us, not in what might have been.
When I was 22, I was having a ball!
It might not be your day that day, but just stay positive and things will get better.
It's the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they're gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it's my turn to leave.
Anyway, it's good to be sent back to the underground. There's always a good side to bad things and the good side to this is that at least everyone has to go back down.
I take whatever good part comes along.
It was like pulling teeth trying to get me to L.A. I hated it for so long, but now I've got this great life here.
The optimist says, ‘this is the best of all possible worlds.’ The pessimist considers that statement for a while and then says, ‘Yes, you are right.’
Life doesn't care about your vision. Stuff happens, and you've just got to deal with it. You roll with it; that's the beauty of it all.
Heaven knows that there are plenty of opportunities in later life, too, for being carried away. What of it? We remain what we are and, no doubt, it is all very good for us!
Pull the good out of it and not worry about the drawbacks.
Don't get me wrong: I've had a lot of fortune, to come where I've come from, to be able to move to Europe, to go racing. But I had that fortune behind me. I grabbed it with both hands, and I made the best of it.
Life isn't fair. It's true, and you still have to deal with it. Whining about it rarely levels the playing field, but learning to rise above it is the ultimate reward.
I get reminded a lot of the time that my life is a little bit different, but I'm just trying to keep it as regular as possible because I like it that way.
I don't want to miss out on the chance of having a good time.
When we first were working, we had no money. We were all sharing this ghastly flat and we had nothing.
Nothing is ever perfect. It is what you make of it.
