A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.

If it doesn’t matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.

Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It’s something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.

Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying.

If you want to double your success rate, you need to double your failure rate.

To be successful in the world of entrepreneurs, especially in the early stages, a person must learn to fail, correct, learn, apply what was learned, and fail again.

One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people-I categorize them as life’s losers-who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Success isn’t about how your life looks to others. It’s about how it feels to you. We realized that being successful isn’t about being impressive, it’s about being inspired. That’s what it means to be true to yourself.

The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who do nothing and succeed.

I’ve always won, and I’m going to continue to win. And that’s the way it is.

In the end, you’re measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.

Can success change the human mechanism so completely between one dawn and another? Can it make one feel taller, more alive, handsomer, uncommonly gifted and indomitably secure with the certainty that this is the way life will always be? It can and it does!

We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters… that you don’t take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules… and success doesn’t count unless you earn it fair and square.

Success isn’t about how much money you make. It’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.

A lot of people don’t like to win. They actually don’t know how to win, and they don’t like to win because down deep inside they don’t want to win.

I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one’s business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.

Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.
