Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.

I woke up on the plane this morning and was turning on my phone and I had to put my pin number in. That's when I realized that since the age of 10 I've been using 2012 as my pin number. But now that I've won gold in the 2012 Olympics I've achieved that goal and for the first time in 14 years I'll have to change my pin.

For the first-time novelist you've got to get up at 5:30 in the morning and write until 7 make breakfast and go to work. Or come home and work for an hour. Everybody has an hour in their day somewhere.

I was the first in my peer group to get pregnant. All I craved was reassurance. I needed someone to tell me that all the seemingly random symptoms I had - weird things such as excess saliva - were normal. And I was worried because I wasn't getting any morning sickness.

When I run in the morning my body spends the first 20 minutes trying to figure out what's happening to it.

I doing casual labor by the day. They wouldn't pay you until the next morning. There was a bar that would cash your check if you bought a beer first. A lot of guys never left until they'd drunk up all their money.

It's very much like opera singers. They do the same thing. The first thing in the morning and the last thing at night the thing they think about is their voice and how to take care of it.

My first care the following morning was to devise some means of discovering the man in the grey cloak.

Now the only thing I miss about sex is the cigarette afterward. Next to the first one in the morning it's the best one of all. It tasted so good that even if I had been frigid I would have pretended otherwise just to be able to smoke it.

When I got my very first phone call that I'd hit the 'New York Times' list I had a small rush of 'I've made it!' But the next morning it occurred to me I didn't know what it was so I called my agent and asked what being a 'New York Times' bestselling author really meant. He informed me that I was now a thousand pound gorilla.

I put on lip balm first thing in the morning and always use it before I swipe on my red lipstick.

I mean when you come into the set at 7:30 in the morning and you come out of make-up and the first thing you know the ladies start coming into our dressing rooms at 7:45.

He had written my mother once that he wanted her to be the first thing he saw every morning and the last thing he ever saw. And that's how it turned out.

To this day I hate walnuts and I hate onions because on weekends when the walnuts and onions were in season we were out there first thing in the morning and out there until the sun went down topping onions or picking walnuts.

I was scheduled to give my first official press conference that morning anyway 'cause I was chairman of the Governors Energy Council and I was making a press conference with regard to energy policy.

Another very strong image from the first day was giving my initial press conference in the morning - going down and finding out that everything I had said the essence of what I had said was wrong.

The first one obviously was walking into my office at eight o'clock in the morning on Wednesday and being told there was a telephone call saying that there was an incident at Three Mile Island and that it had shut down and that beyond that we didn't know.

We all deal with issues of time. The first thing you do in the morning is look at the clock to see what time it is.

My poor vision gives me a soft-focus morning. For the first half hour I kind of wander through my house and everything is a blur. I put my contacts in when I'm ready to deal with the world.

When I found out I was going to be on CBS every morning my first phone call was to Jenny Craig. Ten days later I'd lost nine pounds. Now I even take the plan's popcorn with me to the movies.

After the first day of practice there's not one guy who's playing at 100 percent or who feels great. Sometimes getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the hardest part of the day - it just hurts.

I was shocked by the amount of Welsh people in L.A. We'd go to this British pub to watch the 'Six Nations' early in the morning and I remember the first time I walked in it was just a sea of red.

Remember my first tenet in getting dressed is how you feel in the morning. So if you're not being true blue to that it usually shows.

You know the market was down yesterday... my first thought when I heard-just on a personal basis when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning which were really in the tank I thought Time to buy.
