“A person who does not read is no better than one cannot read.”

Achievement requires more than a vision – it takes courage, resolve and tenacity. All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality.

All you have to do is hold your goal before you and everything else will take care of itself.

Your rewards in life are in direct proportion to your service

Success is not the result of making money; earning money is the result of success — and success is in direct proportion to our service.

Better a sparrow, living or dead, than no birdsong at all.

Better a cautious commander, and not a rash one.

I’m never satisfied. I’m always trying to get better and learn from my mistakes.

Better to sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian.

Better do nothing than do ill.

My body is but the lees of my better being.

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.

And I knew that it was better to live out one’s absurdity than to die for that of others.
