“All of the top achievers I know are life-long learners. Looking for new skills, insights, and ideas. If they’re not learning, they’re not growing and not moving toward excellence.”

Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.

Your habits will determine your quality of life.

When you are in the valley, keep your goal firmly in view and you will get the renewed energy to continue the climb.

Success is a process that continues, not a status that you reach. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

One characteristic of winners is they always look upon themselves as a do it yourself project.

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

You always project on the outside how you feel on the inside.

Opportunity never knocks; it is within you.

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.

The truly successful person inspires others to do more than they have thought possible for themselves.

Better to seek change by inspiration, than out of desperation.

Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.

The less you try to impress, the more impressive you are.

The trouble with most of us is that we stop trying in trying times.

How you spend your time is far more important than all the material possessions you may own or positions you may attain.

Procrastination is the fear of success.

Forbearance in the face of fate, beauty constant under torture, are not merely passive. They are a positive achievement, an explicit triumph.

I never thought of becoming an actress, but I always dreamt of winning a beauty pageant, and I achieved that.

In order for me to achieve… I had to regard myself greater than what I was. In other words I had to fake it until I make it.

The future is not a gift: it is an achievement. Every generation helps make its own future. This is the essential challenge of the present.

Physical fitness is extremely important to me. Only if you are fit will you be able to achieve whatever you want to achieve in life; you will be able to pursue your dreams, your ambition, you goals, and the things you love.

Illiteracy must be banished from the land if we shall attain that high destiny as the foremost of the enlightened nations of the world which, under Providence, we ought to achieve.

There’s nothing better than achieving your goals, whatever they might be.

I believe I am happy. I don’t think I have achieved happiness in all areas of my life yet. As far as success is concerned, my family is being taken care of. But I think the last level of happiness would be becoming a father.
