Thomas Edison

If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways it won’t work.

Americans never quit.

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously and never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture!

My goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family.

Every choice you make has an end result.

When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.

If you are going to dream, dream big.

In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Goals enable you to do more for yourself and others, too.

You’ll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never.

Time can be an ally or an enemy. What it becomes depends entirely upon you, your goals, and your determination to use every available minute.

The more you prospect, the more you prosper.

When you get into a ‘tight’place and everything goes against you, until it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, it is then when you should never give up, for that is just the place and time when the tide will turn.

Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

Insisting on perfect safety is for people who don’t have the balls to live in the real world.

If you don’t see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.
