Jonathan Swift

When a true genius appears in this world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.

No wise man ever wished to be younger.

Every man, everywhere, should be free to develop his talents to their full potential – unhampered by arbitrary barriers of race or birth or income.

Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.

Champions invariably have fervent philosophical beliefs. Philosophy, in its simplest terms, means ‘the love of wisdom.’

Accountability breeds responsibility.

Projecting your mind into a successful situation is the most powerful means to achieve goals.

Money isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the ‘gotta have it’ scale.

There is little you can learn from doing nothing.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.

Don’t let mistakes and disappointments of the past control and direct your future.

There is immense power when a group of people with similar interests gets together to work toward the same goals.

My philosophy in life is this: if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose – somehow we win out.

I was relentless, even in the face of total lack of encouragement, because much more often than you’d think, sheer persistence is the difference between success and failure.

True joy comes when you inspire, encourage, and guide someone else on a path that benefits him or her.

Since belief determines behavior, doesn’t it make sense that we should be teaching ethical, moral values in every home and in every school in America?
