FEAR has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise.’ The choice is yours.

If you have a dream, don’t let anybody take it away.

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.

A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.

Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.

Your understanding of what you read and hear is, to a very large degree, determined by your vocabulary, so improve your vocabulary daily.

Personal discipline, when it becomes a way of life in our personal, family, and career lives, will enable us to do some incredible things.

Those who believe they can move mountains, do. Those who believe they can’t, cannot. Belief triggers the power to do.

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it’s better than no inspiration at all.

If everything’s under control, you’re going too slow.

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

Find the game where you can win, and then commit your life to playing it; and play to win.
