In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s mind there are few.

… be aware that even before you have reached your ultimate professional destination … you can and should have a substantial impact on the world in which you live.

Rich people have small TVs and big libraries, and poor people have small libraries and big TVs.

I only work with the best.

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.

Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining – it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn’t solve any problems.

Live out of your imagination, not your history.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

Never, ever give up. There will be times in your life you’ll want to quit, you’ll want to go home, you’ll want to go home perhaps to that wonderful mother that’s sitting back there watching you and say, ‘Mom, I can’t do it. I can’t do it.’ Just never quit. Go back home and tell mom, dad, ‘I can do it, I can do it. I will do it.’ You’re going to be successful.

First comes the shy wish. Then you must have the heart to have the dream. Then, you work, and work.

The relationships we have with people are extremely important to success on and off the job.

You already have every characteristic necessary for success if you recognize, claim, develop and use them.

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.

I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.
