“Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.”

Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

If you want to amend your errors, you must begin by amending your philosophy.

Be a student, not a follower. Take interest in what someone says, then debate it, ponder it, and consider it from all angles.

We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

Poor people spend their money and save what’s left, rich people save their money and spend what’s left.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

Don’t set your goals too low. If you don’t need much, you won’t become much.

The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.

When the why gets stronger, the how gets easier.

You’ve got to believe in the possibilities. You’ve got to believe that tomorrow can be better than today. And here’s the big one. Believe in yourself.

How long should you try? Until.

The major key to your better future is you.

Learn to express, not impress.

We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation.

For every disciplined effort, there is a multiple reward.

Learn how to say no. Don’t let your mouth overload your back.

My ambition is to have this wonderful gift produce practical results for the future of commercial flying and for the women who may want to fly tomorrow’s planes.

Patriotism. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.

Ambition. An overmastering desire to be vilified by enemies while living and made ridiculous by friends when dead.

I love playing a smart, ambitious, talented woman. Who doesn’t? That’s really fun for me.

The main thing, of course, always, is the fact that there is only one of you in the world, just one, and if that is not fulfilled then something has been lost. Ambition is not enough; necessity is everything.

We will not be dictated to by men with less intelligence, energy, initiative and ambition than we ourselves possess.

If you try to keep your most sacred ambitions off of your weekly calendar and your most genuine traits off of your resume, then you’re missing out on the power of real integrity.

A lot of people have the ambition, but they never ask themselves, Do I really believe I can do this?
