Donald Trump

You must go forth into the world, with passion, courage in your conviction, and most importantly be true to yourself. I did it!

The more government takes in taxes, the less incentive people have to work. What coal miner or assembly-line worker jumps at the offer of overtime when he knows Uncle Sam is going to take sixty percent or more of his extra pay? . . . Any system that penalizes success and accomplishment is wrong. Any system that discourages work, discourages productivity, discourages economic progress, is wrong. If, on the other hand, you reduce tax rates and allow people to spend or save more of what they earn, they’ll be more industrious; they’ll have more incentive to work hard, and money they earn will add fuel to the great economic machine that energizes our national progress. The result: more prosperity for all-and more revenue for government.

We’re rounding ’em up in a very humane way, in a very nice way. And they’re going to be happy because they want to be legalized. And, by the way, I know it doesn’t sound nice. But not everything is nice.

The harder I work, the luckier I get. When you have momentum going, play the momentum.

I’m the most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far. Nobody’s ever been more successful than me. I’m the most successful person ever to run. Ross Perot isn’t successful like me. Romney – I have a Gucci store that’s worth more than Romney.

My style of deal-making is quite simple and straightforward. I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I’m after.

The world’s most deadly disease is hardening of the attitudes.

The most important thing in life is to love what you’re doing, because that’s the only way you’ll ever be really good at it.

Impossible is just an opinion.

Really good people like me are scared of falling off. I’m totally scared of falling off. Just imagine it. Just imagine if I woke up one day and I was wack. What would I do then?

You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.

Research indicates that employees have three prime needs: Interesting work, recognition for doing a good job, and being let in on things that are going on in the company.

There will be times when your best isn’t your good enough. There can be many reasons for this, but as long as you give your best you’ll be OK.

You’ll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never.

Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that’s more productive.

You’ve got to be before you can do and do before you can have.

No wise man ever wished to be younger.

Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.

See yourself as a work in progress.

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.

Genius is divine perseverance. Genius I cannot have, but perseverance all can have.
