“Give yourself something to work toward – constantly.”

In fact, depending on how much you earn, you can afford to pay somebody to do almost anything you don’t like to do.

One intense hour is worth a dreamy day.

Unlike many people who start a new business, money was not my prime motivation – not that I was so well off that it wasn’t a consideration; in fact, I had put my lifetime savings on the line.

What the world thinks of me is none of my business.

Nobody wins ‘em all. If you come down on them too hard for losing, they’ll stop sticking their necks out.

Your attitude determines your altitude. It really is true that If you think you can, you can; and if you think you can’t – you’re right.

You must develop the ability to know the difference between a real problem and an imaginary one.

Do not desire to fit in. Desire to lead.

One of the secrets of success is to refuse to let temporary setbacks defeat us.

Think in terms of what’s good for the other person and success will seek you out.

We didn’t set the world on fire from the first day. Disappointments, setbacks and work created the company as it is today.

Forcing myself to think positively did wonders for my spirit. I was able to overcome the discontent inside me, and my old enthusiasm slowly returned.

I believe that most successful people are ordinary people with extraordinary determination.

People often resist change when they don’t participate in the decision-making process. Some of the best leaders ‘plant the seed’ that permits others to propose the idea and take credit for it!

Help other people get what they want – and you’ll get what you want.

Be a dreamer. Have a sense of greatness. It has been said that if you can dream it, you can do it. And I believe that. Before your dream can become a reality, you have to see it in your own mind; see its fulfillment, whatever it may be.

…the Federal Reserve has the capacity to operate in domestic money markets to maintain interest rates at a level consistent with our economic goals

If we don’t do it, somebody else will. The Chinese, the Europeans and the Japanese all have the goal of going to the moon. Certainly we don’t want to wake up and see that they have a base there before we do.

Long-term goals are dangerous. They limit you. They hinder you from reacting to new conditions.

In a company, hundreds of decisions get made, but objectives and goals are thin.

If we desire a society in which men are brothers, then we must act towards one another with brotherhood. If we can build such a society, then we would have achieved the ultimate goal of human freedom.

Goals aren’t enough. You need goals plus deadlines: goals big enough to get excited about and deadline to make you run. One isn’t much good without the other, but together they can be tremendous.

Success depends on how much you are willing to sacrifice, how much you are willing to alter your everyday life for a particular goal.

Nor shall the seeker reach his goal unless he sacrifice all things. That is, whatever he has seen, and heard, and understood (before), all must he set at naught, that he may enter the Realm of the Spirit, which is the City of God.
