Vincent Van Gogh

You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you had to overcome to reach your goals.

Your biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s getting too comfortable.

Look in my eyes right now – you see no sunken place.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

I can’t understand why people are frightened by new ideas. I’m frightened by old ones.

My philosophy in life is this: if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose – somehow we win out.

There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.

Just remember, you can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.

Sometimes Tina Fey is like a very talented bungee-jumping expert. All it takes Tina to softly say, ‘We can do this, right?’ and I suddenly feel like I can jump off a bridge.

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

I have always tried to avoid regrets. Could I have done differently some things in my career? Maybe.

It is better to inspire a reform than to enforce it.

When a true genius appears in this world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.
