I think I am actually humble. I think I’m much more humble than you would understand.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Never, ever give up. There will be times in your life you’ll want to quit, you’ll want to go home, you’ll want to go home perhaps to that wonderful mother that’s sitting back there watching you and say, ‘Mom, I can’t do it. I can’t do it.’ Just never quit. Go back home and tell mom, dad, ‘I can do it, I can do it. I will do it.’ You’re going to be successful.

If I were running ‘The View’, I’d fire Rosie O’Donnell. I mean, I’d look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I’d say ‘Rosie, you’re fired.’

The worst things in history have happened when people stop thinking for themselves and listen to other people and, even worse, start following other people. That’s what gives rise to dictators.

I had some beautiful pictures taken in which I had a big smile on my face. I looked happy, I looked content, I looked like a very nice person, which in theory I am.

Every obnoxious act is a cry for help.

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

The greatest source of happiness is the ability to be grateful at all times.

In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.

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

The uniform, constant and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition … is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite both of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration … surmounting a hundred impertinent obstructions with which the folly of human laws too often encumbers its operations.

Do first things first, and second things not at all.

In addition to self-awareness, imagination and conscience, it is the fourth human endowment-independent will-that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to proactively carry out the program we have developed through the other three endowments. Empowerment comes from learning how to use this great endowment in the decisions we make every day.

If you’re going to have to swallow a frog, you don’t want to have to look at that sucker too long!

You can start where you are with what you’ve got and go to wherever it is you want to go.

In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it.

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Give yourself a little freedom to develop into something or someone you’d actually like to be.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
