"Achieve some perfection [excellence] yourself, so that..." - Quote by Rumi

“Even when tied in a thousand knots, the string is still but one.”

“If you have no eyes, do not walk blindly; take a staff in your hand. If you have no staff of insight, do not walk without a guide.”

“When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.”

“They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds.”

“Not everyone will become a great leader, but everyone can become a better leader.”

“I like my raps but I'm never too happy with some of 'em because I feel like they could be better. But every time I hear my flow on that song I wow myself.”

“Almost everyone does just enough to get by. Those who achieve spectacular success also do enough to get by; then they add a little bit of extra effort. That little bit of extra effort makes an enormous difference.”

“I should never have made my success in life if I had not bestowed upon the least thing I have ever undertaken the same attention and care that I have bestowed upon the greatest.”

“My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.”
