Sex is one of the most wholesome, beautiful and natural experiences that money can buy

The old rules are crumbling and nobody knows what the new rules are. So make up your own rules.

Vision without action is daydream. Action without vision is nightmare.

If you want to be rich… don’t allow yourself the luxury of excuses.

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.

Most good ideas sparkle in simplicity, so much so that everyone wonders why no one ever did that before.

The mind that opens to a new idea never comes back to its original size.

If you are not willing to risk the usual you will have to settle for the ordinary.

You must go forth into the world, with passion, courage in your conviction, and most importantly be true to yourself. I did it!

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.

The best advice I can give to anyone going through a rough patch is to never be afraid to ask for help.

You must see your goals clearly and specifically before you can set out for them. Hold them in your mind until they become second nature.

Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage, but simply because they have never organised their energies around a goal.

There is little you can learn from doing nothing.

Successful people are those who are willing to delay gratification and make sacrifices in the short term so that they can enjoy far greater rewards in the long term.
