There is little you can learn from doing nothing.

We all prospect, and don’t even know we’re doing it. When you start the dating process, you are actually prospecting for the person you want to marry. When you’re interviewing employees, you are prospecting for someone who will best fit your needs.

Many people who want to be great aren’t willing to do the work to make it possible!

People don’t buy for logical reasons. They buy for emotional reasons.

We are guided by outcomes, not ideology. We have a policy of principled realism, rooted in shared goals, interests, and values. That realism forces us to confront a question facing every leader and nation in this room. It is a question we cannot escape or avoid.

Or do we have enough strength and pride to confront those dangers today, so that our citizens can enjoy peace and prosperity tomorrow?

The successful business executive can handle challenges and solve problems at a remarkable clip.

Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

It’s no longer a question of staying healthy. It’s a question of finding a sickness you like.

The most important persuasion tool you have in your entire arsenal is integrity.

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small amount of Are makes a small amount of heat.
