“Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.”

Don’t succumb to excuses. Go back to the job of making the corrections and forming the habits that will make your goal possible.

You defeat defeatism with confidence.

Beat your opponent where he is strongest, and you demoralize him.

I don’t necessarily have to like my players and associates but as their leader I must love them. Love is loyalty, love is teamwork, love respects the dignity of the individual. This is the strength of any organization.

I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about.

The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.

We didn’t lose the game; we just ran out of time.

I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious.

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Some need a whip and others a pat on the back and others are better off when they are ignored.

The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group.

I would like to be remembered as someone who accomplished useful deeds, and who was a kind and loving person. I would like to leave the memory of a human being with a correct attitude and who did her best to help others.

The repetition of small efforts will accomplish more than the occasional use of great talents.

The more clear you are about what you want, the more motivated and determined you will be to accomplish it.

To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

One of the most important rules for success is this: Every great success is the result of hundreds and thousands of small efforts and accomplishments that no one sees or appreciates.

Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.

Time can’t be managed. I merely manage activities. Each night, I write down on a sheet of paper a list of the things I have to accomplish the next day. And when I wake up I do them.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.
