Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Don’t be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

If you haven’t found it yet keep looking.

I believe in the Golden Rule. The Man with the Gold, Rules.

Don’t let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of going after yours.

I believe it’s important that we use names of endearment that reflect a special feeling for the individual involved.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Do not attempt to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.

Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.

Building a better you is the first step to building a better America.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.

Make today worth remembering.

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

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

Take time to be kind and to say ‘thank you.’

Timid salesmen have skinny kids.

It is true that integrity alone won’t make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one.

I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become.
