J.M. Barrie

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

When you are truly interested in other people, you will learn what they are interested in and if they have a need for your product. If they like you, and most people like folks who take an interest in them, they’ll help you find people who do need what you have to sell, even if they don’t.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings.

You must be the change you want to see in the world.

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

Some people make things happen, some people watch things happen, and some ask what happened.

All great things begin with a vision … a dream.

The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.

People are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves. That is why they remain bound.

You will have failures in your life, but it is what you do during those valleys that will determine the heights of your peaks.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation.

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.
