Andrew Carnegie

There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else.

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!

You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best.

Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.

You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb.

Thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs you come across in your life.

Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give them yours.

Hope will never be silent.

Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.

An optimist stays up to see the New Year in. A pessimist waits to make sure the old one leaves.

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

Good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient and the best things come to those who don’t give up.

To be candid, some people have given positive thinking a bad name. I can’t stand to hear some gung-ho individual say that with positive thinking you can just do ‘anything.’ If you think about that one for a moment, you recognize the absurdity of it.

Procastination is not about not doing is about not doing and feeling crappy.

There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.

The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations.

You are what you are and you are where you are because of what has gone into your mind. You change what you are and you change where you are by changing what goes into your mind.

Sometimes Tina Fey is like a very talented bungee-jumping expert. All it takes Tina to softly say, ‘We can do this, right?’ and I suddenly feel like I can jump off a bridge.

In the marathon of life, success calls for dedication to the goal, perseverance, compassion for my fellow man, and faith in God.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
