Successful weight loss takes programming, not willpower.

Everybody should have the opportunity to do and be everything they can be.

You, and only you, choose how you feel.

When you get married, your loyalty, first and foremost, is to your spouse, and to the family that you create together.

Are you doing what you’re doing today because you want to do it or because it’s what you were doing yesterday?

Unless you know who you are, you will always be vulnerable to what people say.

I don’t necessarily agree with everything I say.

It’s so much easier to tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

Every damn thing you do in this life, you have to pay for.

Greatest thing in life is experience. Even mistakes have value.

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.

I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

When a thought is too weak to be expressed simply, simply drop it.

Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good, patience is better.

If you wish to clear away the clouds of thought, simply keep your mind in the present.

Foolproof systems don’t take into account the ingenuity of fools.

Roaming through the jungle of ‘oohs’ and ‘ahs’, searching for a more agreeable noise, I live a life of primitivity with the mind of a child and an unquenchable thirst for sharps and flats.

One needs to be successful in the conventional way to learn just how far away from success it may be.
