Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strength. When you go through hardship and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity.

Each businessperson must find a style, that voice that grows clearer and louder with each success and failure. Observing your own and your competitors’ successes and failures makes your inner business voice more sure and vivid.

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.

You are essentially who you create yourself to be and all that occurs in your life is the result of your own making.

I believe it’s important that we use names of endearment that reflect a special feeling for the individual involved.

You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you had to overcome to reach your goals.

You can start where you are with what you’ve got and go to wherever it is you want to go.

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.

Focus on what you can control: your actions. How you react to negative feelings will be the key to your success.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

If you have to eat a frog, don’t look at it for too long.

Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo.

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

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.

Since belief determines behavior, doesn’t it make sense that we should be teaching ethical, moral values in every home and in every school in America?
