“How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us, and keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and to do what really matters most.”

The key to success is dedication to life-long learning.

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.

Almost every significant breakthrough is the result of a courageous break with traditional ways of thinking.

As you care less about what people think of you, you will care more about what others think of themselves.

What you see often depends on what you are looking for.

People behave more on the basis of how they feel than how they think; unless there are good feelings between people, it is almost impossible to reason intelligently.

Live your life by a compass, not a clock.

Beginners are many; finishers are few.

Free your heart from hatred – forgive. Free your mind from worries – most never happen. Live simply and appreciate what you have. Give more. Expect less.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different.
