“Get into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest, something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.”

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.

If your attitude toward the world is good, you will obtain good results. If your attitude is excellent, excellent will your results.

Problems are challenges to creative minds. Without problems, there would be little reason to think at all.

We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.

Don’t take the attitude of waiting for people to be nice to you – be nice to them. Don’t sit in front of a cold stove waiting for the heat. Put in the fuel. Act first.

Successful people are not people without problems. They are people who have learned to solve their problems.

Self-pity is an acid which eats holes in happiness.

To become successful and outstanding at something, we don’t have to come up with something new; we need only find ways of doing it better.

Ask yourself every morning, ‘how can I increase my service today?’

In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.

You don’t ask what a dance means. You enjoy it. You don’t ask what the world means. You enjoy it. You don’t ask what you mean. You enjoy it.

Sex hasn’t been the same since women started enjoying it.

Those persons who have perceptive eyes enjoy beauty everywhere.

The more we allow ourselves to enjoy, the more reasons we find to be joyful.

I look around the world and see so many wonderful things that I love and enjoy and benefit from, whether it’s art or music or clothing or food and all the rest. And I’d like to add a little to that goodness.

I’ve certainly never taken the care of myself that I should have. On the contrary. I’ve done a lot of late nights without enough sleep and all that. But I’ve had fun. Whatever wrinkles are there, I’ve enjoyed getting them.

The simple fact that you care, that you want to do your best, that you strive to enjoy life and love, this makes you so much more than enough.
