Thinking expansively includes seeing what is possible and making it happen.

It takes no compromise to give people their rights … it takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give them freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression.

Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.

Accountability breeds responsibility.

You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

The first step in solving a problem is to recognize that it does exist.

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

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

Don’t start the day until you have it finished. Don’t start the week until you have it finished. Don’t start the month until you have it finished. Plan your day.

We become what we think about most of the time, and that’s the strangest secret.

Rules are meant to be broken.

In God we trust; all others bring data.

You’re a fighter. Look at everything you’ve overcome. Don’t give up now.

The fact of the matter is, you don’t give up what’s natural. Anything I’ve fantasized about, I’ve done.

I was afraid to show you this 300 acres that I just purchased that I’m building my first community on – my first five properties on – because I felt like it would be shut down.
