“Just make up your mind at the very outset that your work is going to stand for quality… that you are going to stamp a superior quality upon everything that goes out of your hands, that whatever you do shall bear the hallmark of excellence.”

You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.

Obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small.

What keeps so many people back is simply unwillingness to pay the price, to make the exertion, the effort to sacrifice their ease and comfort.

Make it a life-rule to give your best to whatever passes through your hands. Stamp it with your manhood. Let superiority be your trademark.

Conquer yourself and you can conquer everything else.

The best books are those which lift us to a higher plane where we breathe a purer atmosphere.

All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

Wanted, a man who will not lose his individuality in a crowd, a man who has the courage of his convictions, who is not afraid to say “No,” though all the world say “Yes.

It is the youth who sees a great opportunity hidden in just these simple services, who sees a very uncommon situation, a humble position, who gets on in the world.

Put the uncommon effort into the common task… make it large by doing it in a great way.

Find your purpose and fling your life out to it. Find a way or make one. Try with all your might. Self-made or never made.

This is the test of your manhood: How much is there left in you after you have lost everything outside of yourself?

There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in us.

Learn From Yesterday, Live for Today, hope for tomorrow.

Absorb knowledge from every possible source and opportunity. Power gravitates to the man who knows how and why.

There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.

Strive for excellence, not perfection.

All great hotels should have stellar personalized service, a unique design that gives guests a sense of place, an excellent on-site restaurant, and other fantastic amenities. Obviously location is a key factor as well.

How seek the way which leadeth to our wishes? By renouncing our wishes. The crown of excellence is renunciation.

When a man appreciates only eating and sleeping, what excellence has he over the reptiles?

Man is so constituted that he then only excels other things when he knows himself.

Man is, beyond dispute, the most excellent of created beings, and the vilest animal is a dog; but the sages agree that a grateful dog is better than an ungrateful man.
