You can’t do this! We have an arrangement! We have a contract!

Do any of us really have a clue? We don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. Or what word will come up in a conversation that will change our lives. You can be in the shower and scrubbing under your arm and find a lump that wasn’t there yesterday. I’m doing things here and now. Life is evolving. Every day life evolves.

If you said you had homosexual tendencies they sent you to a psychiatrist.

I believe we’re all in denial about the people we love.

Oh please. A Gay Mafia? This is so crazy. This is insane. I think he needs a psychiatrist. It’s so paranoid, and so crazy, and so irresponsible, and makes him look like such a nut. It’s beyond crazy. On a scale of 1 to 10 crazy, it’s 11… He’s made a fool of himself, and he’s made a huge failure of his life. To say you’ve been brought down by the Gay Mafia and its allies is as crazy as anything I’ve ever heard in my life… Did I mention his extraordinary homophobia?

My life is a success – I am a happy man.

It was just inconceivable to me I couldn’t win it all.

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

There’s always something about your success that displeases even your best friends.

When you’re successful, things have a momentum and you can’t tell if you have created the momentum or it’s creating you.

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!

Only he is successful in his business who makes that pursuit which affords him the highest pleasure sustain him.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

Whenever you see a successful person you only see the public glories, never the private sacrifices to reach them.

Success comes from failure, not from memorizing the right answers.

The rich. You know why they’re so odd? Because they can afford to be.

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

The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.

Success covers a multitude of blunders.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

My life is a success – I am a happy man.
