Robert Frost

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: It goes on.

I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.

By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day

A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.

A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.

The best way out is always through.

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all-in which case, you fail by default.

I seldom read anything that is not of a factual nature because I want to invest my time wisely in the things that will improve my life. Don’t misunderstand; there is nothing wrong with reading purely for the joy of it. Novels have their place, but biographies of famous men and women contain information that can change lives.

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

Honesty and integrity are absolutely essential for success in life – all areas of life. The really good news is that anyone can develop both honesty and integrity.

No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.

You can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.

80 Percent of the constraints, the factors that are holding you back from achieving your goals, are internal.

Always think positively and expect the best.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.

Thought is useful when it motivates for action, and a hindrance when it substitutes for action.

Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.

Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.

I urge people to learn from the mistakes of others.

I’ve always taught that a poor economy is the best opportunity for salespeople because the naysayers and grumblers have already given up, leaving more territory, more opportunities to be successful than in a good economy when virtually all salespeople are out there, giving it their best.

I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.
