“The more you care, the stronger you can be.”

Start reading, and especially read the kinds of books that will help you unleash your inner potential.

Never begrudge the money you spend on your own education.

The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

Dream the biggest dream for yourself. Hold the highest vision of life for yourself.

A bad beginning makes a bad ending.

No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.

The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.

It tires me to talk to rich men. You expect a man of millions, the head of a great industry, to be a man worthhearing; but as a rule they don’t know anything outside their own business.

We are limited, not by our abilities, but by our vision.
