“It is so hard to get things done in this world. You try and too often it doesn't work. But you have to continue. And you never give up. ”

“The thing with giving up is you never know. You never know whether you could have done the job. And I'm sick of not knowing about my life.”

“I killed the whole world, and you can too, if you try hard.”

“There is a difference between failing and failure. Failing is trying something that you learn doesn't work. Failure is throwing in the towel and giving up.”

“Do you feel disappointed because something you planned didn’t work out If so you can get re-appointed today. In God there are never any dead-ends only detours. Don’t ever give up. Just keep trying until you succeed.”

“Remorse for what? You people have done everything in the world to me. Doesn't that give me equal right?”

“Just remember — if you are really and truly determined to work with animals, somehow, either now or later, you will find a way to do it. But you have to want it desperately, work hard, take advantage of an opportunity — and never give up.”

“If you have a dream, a passion and have the opportunity to make it happen, great. BUT, if you can’t get to it right away, which is quite often the case, give the job you’re doing 100 per cent and keep your eyes open. You never know what opportunity might arise … something you never thought of could become your life’s work. Success of any kind is the result of hard work … there’s no shortcut.”

“Wherever you are, whenever it is, never give up. Then, it will be the most "charming" thing in the world.”

“"You try very hard to make up for something that was never your fault. […] You didn't choose this kind of life, and yet you have to work so hard to be good."
"I don't know that I'm making up for anything," he disagreed lightly. "Like everything in life, I just had to decide what to do with what I was given."”
