How about dreaming out loud? How about feeling that something can happen to make the world better and inspire people? Is that OK for one second?

Excessive fear and self-doubt that were the greatest detractors of personal genius.

I maintained my edge by always being a student; you will always have something new to learn.

The best advice I can give to anyone going through a rough patch is to never be afraid to ask for help.

Progress isn’t made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

The more people tell you it’s not possible, that it can’t be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong. Treat the word ‘impossible’ as nothing more than motivation.

I’ve always taught that a poor economy is the best opportunity for salespeople because the naysayers and grumblers have already given up, leaving more territory, more opportunities to be successful than in a good economy when virtually all salespeople are out there, giving it their best.

You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot in front of the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That’s how I’ve done it. There’s no other way.

You cannot perform in a manner inconsistent with the way you see yourself.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

I can’t understand why people are frightened by new ideas. I’m frightened by old ones.

You combine hard work, creativity, and self-determination, and things start to happen.
