Albert Einstein

Setting an example is not the main means of influencing others; it is the only means.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about.

You never fail until you stop trying.

How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

The right quote can inspire people to change their ways.

Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds.

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.

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.

Vision is not enough – it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.

Yesterday ended last night. Today is a brand-new day.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken.

Don’t be distracted by criticism. Remember – the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.

Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings. And unexpressed feelings come forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.

Fear is the great extinguisher of dreams… Conversely, it can be your best mentor and source of motivation.

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.

I’ve never been terribly interested in why people give, because their motivation is rarely what it seems to be, and it’s almost never true altruism.

Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.
