“No obstacle is so big that one person with determination can't make a difference.”

“One person can make a difference, and every person should try.”

“I grew up believing that one person could make a difference. In Indiana, you saw that with basketball. The small town could beat the big town, like in the movie Hoosiers. That is one of the things that attracts me to entrepreneurs.”

“Obstacles can't stop you. Problems can't stop you. Most of all others can't stop you. The only one who stops you is yourself.”

“There is very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude.”

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”

“What is the one thing more than any other thing that makes one person different from any other person?”

“Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.”

“If you’ve had to overcome an obstacle or insecurity or fear… genuinely you can bet on that person because they have gathered themselves and found through their inner strength, they have determination, they have grit.”

“We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.”
