Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.

Talent is formed in solitude, character in the bustle of the world.

Let us live is as small a circle as we will, we are either debtors or creditors before we have had time look around.

What you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.

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

Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.

There are secret opportunities hidden inside every failure.

Your income rarely exceeds your personal development.

People who exercise their embryonic freedom day after day, little by little, expand that freedom. People who do not will find that it withers until they are literally being lived. They are acting out scripts written by parents, associates and society.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

Be open to new information and ideas.

I’ve never been terribly interested in why people give, because their motivation is rarely what it seems to be, and it’s almost never true altruism.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

The way to succeed is to double your error rate.

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

Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die.

Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.

There’s never been a doctor who served many patients who, despite their best efforts, did not lose some of them to death. But they understood that was part of life itself.

Someday is not a day of the week.
