“The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”

Friendship is the heaven of life.

This problem, once solved, will be simple.

The First 40 hours of work per week are for survival. Everything after that is for success.

All bibles are man-made.

Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait.

If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.

The chief function of the body is to carry the brain around.

Be courageous! Have faith! Go forward.

I never quit until I get what I want.

Genius is not inspired. Inspiration is perspiration.

The value of an idea lies in the using of it.

I find out what the world needs. Then I go ahead and try to invent it.

There seems to be no limit to which some men will go to avoid the labor of thinking. Thinking is hard work.

Anything that won’t sell, I don’t want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility, and utility is success.

Time is really the only capital that any human being has, and the only thing he can’t afford to lose.

Great ideas originate in the muscles.

All of the top achievers I know are life-long learners. Looking for new skills, insights, and ideas. If they’re not learning, they’re not growing and not moving toward excellence.

Part of the issue of achievement is to be able to set realistic goals, but that’s one of the hardest things to do because you don’t always know exactly where you’re going, and you shouldn’t.

The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply.

The secret to productive goal setting is in establishing clearly defined goals, writing them down and then focusing on them several times a day with words, pictures and emotions as if we’ve already achieved them.

I hope that all of us who were fortunate enough to have benefited will put our time, our resources and our efforts into making sure that kids, particularly kids without means, have a way to achieve.

Knowledge and achievements matter little if we do not yet know how to touch the heart of another and be touched.

To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country.

Success is achieved by people who deeply understand reality and know how to use it to get what they want. The converse is also true: idealists who are not well-grounded in reality create problems, not progress.
