Quotations with a citation

Don't give up ... don't ever give up.

I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal. You have to be willing to work for it.

Cancer can take away all my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever.
