Bob Dylan

People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around – the music and the ideas.

Well, I don’t know, but I’ve been told the streets in heaven are lined with gold. I ask you how things could get much worse if the Russians happen to get up there first; Wowee! pretty scary!

I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.

You know I don’t wanna come on ungrateful, but that warren report, you know as well as me, just didn’t make it. You know, like they might as well have asked some banana salesman from des moines, who was up in toronto on the big day, if he saw anyone around looking suspicious…

Despite everybody who has been born and has died, the world has just gone on. I mean, look at Napoleon – but we went right on. Look at Harpo Marx –the world went around, it didn’t stop for a second. It’s sad but true. John Kennedy, right?

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.

A minute of success pays for years of failure.

The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.

If you want to double your success rate, you need to double your failure rate.

We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean… and we were taught to value everyone’s contribution and treat everyone with respect.

To be successful you must accept all challenges that come your way. You can’t just accept the ones you like.

A lot of people don’t like to win. They actually don’t know how to win, and they don’t like to win because down deep inside they don’t want to win.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

[As a child] I want to earn a thousand dollars a week, have an apartment on Ocean Parkway, and drive a Cadillac convertible.

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

Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solves each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They keep going regardless of the obstacles they met.

Whenever I hear it can’t be done, I know I am close to success.

Success isn’t about how much money you make. It’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out.

There are only two rules for being successful. One, figure out exactly what you want to do, and two, do it.
