No matter where you are in life, you’ll save a lot of time by not worrying too much about what other people think about you. The earlier in your life that you can learn that, the easier the rest of it will be.

You combine hard work, creativity, and self-determination, and things start to happen.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

There is little you can learn from doing nothing.

At the still-point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.

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

Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to ‘gamble’ on an unknown.

The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.

Anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.

If you want truly to understand something, try to change it.

Progress isn’t made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.

When you start doing what you love to do, you will never work another day in your life.

Business is there if you go after it.

Priority is a function of context.

It’s important that you learn to be an entrepreneur or an investor…. Not a saver!

There is no substitute for hard work.

Feeling is more important than thought.
