Arnold Schwarzenegger

You can't be paralyzed by fear of failure or you will never push yourself.

Training was all I could think about. One Sunday when I found the stadium locked, I broke in and worked out in the freezing cold. Every painful set, every extra rep, was a step toward my goal of winning.

We had a strict routine that nothing could change: we'd get up at six, and it would be my job or Meinhard's to get milk from the farm door. When w were a little older and starting to play sports, exercises were added to the chores, and we had to earn our breakfast by doing sit-ups. In the afternoon, we'd finish our homework and chores, and my father would make us practice soccer no matter how bad the weather was.

For the hundreds of thousands of Californians in gay and lesbian households who are managing their day-to-day lives, this decision affirms the full legal protections and safeguards I believe everyone deserves.

I was also going to give a graduation speech in Arizona this weekend. But with my accent, I was afraid they would try to deport me.

I always stay hungry, never satisfied with current accomplishments.

The difference between those who adapted and those who didn't, Gorton said, was a willingness to totally commit.

What is the point of being on this Earth if you are going to be like everyone else?

I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future.

The future is green energy, sustainability, renewable energy.

In our society, the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits.

I have a private plane. But I fly commercial when I go to environmental conferences.

Just remember, you can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

Start wide, expand further, and never look back.

You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher; our future depends on the quality of education of our children today.

I am a big believer in education, because when I grew up in Austria - when I grew up in Austria I had a great education. I had great teachers.
