“Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.”

Find out what you really love to do, and then find a way to make a good living doing it.

You either control your mind or it controls you.

Work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.

If you fail to control your own mind, you may be sure you will control nothing else.

If you do not believe in co-operation, look what happens to a wagon that loses a wheel.

Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire brings a small amount of heat.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

Whatever you think today becomes what you are tomorrow.

Yesterday is gone forever. Make the most of today and tomorrow if you wish to make up for lost time.

Sex energy is the creative energy of all creative geniuses.

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.

First you fuel the desire, then the desire will fuel you.

Keep your mind fixed on what you want in life: not on what you don’t want.

Genuine wisdom is usually conspicuous through modesty and silence.

Desire backed by faith knows no such word as impossible.

Some call it bootlegging. Some call it racketeering. I call it a business.

As a female I think it’s a terrible hindrance in business. I think it’s a terrible hindrance for any female to have a lot of intelligence in private life, but I think in business sometimes it’s even worse because there’s deep resentment.

Opportunities, many times, are so small that we glimpse them not and yet they are often the seeds of great enterprises. Opportunities are also everywhere and so you must always let your hook be hanging. When you least expect it, a great fish will swim by.

A penny for your thoughts, a dollar for your dreams.

I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn’t dare to make an enemy should get out of the business.

I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man’s. I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.

All men’s gains are the fruit of venturing.

In this business, until you’re known as a monster you’re not a star.
