Research indicates that employees have three prime needs: Interesting work, recognition for doing a good job, and being let in on things that are going on in the company.

It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.

A goal properly set is halfway reached.

When you do more than you’re paid for. Eventually, you’ll be paid for more than you do.

Make failure your teacher, not your undertaker.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

If you are not personally free to be yourself in that most important of all human activities … the expression of love … then life itself loses its meaning.

Excellence is attained when you care more than others think is wise; risk more than others think is safe; dream more than others think is practical; expect more than others think is possible.

I was always scared to follow my dreams because if I follow my dreams and I fail, I can’t dream about it anymore. It’s easier to settle for less.

Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stressed; working hard for something we love is called passion.

If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

Progress isn’t made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.

I’ve seen more people fail because of liquor and leverage – leverage being borrowed money. You really don’t need leverage in this world much. If you’re smart, you’re going to make a lot of money without borrowing.

I have learned that what is essential can sometimes be invisible to the eye. That’s where discernment comes in.

You never fail until you stop trying.

Success is dependent upon the glands – sweat glands.

No matter where you are in life, you’ll save a lot of time by not worrying too much about what other people think about you. The earlier in your life that you can learn that, the easier the rest of it will be.

With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity, you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt.
