The person who is waiting for something to turn up might start with their shirt sleeves.

If you have no wish, how can it possibly come true?

Don’t find fault, find a remedy.

I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done.

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.

If at first you don’t succeed, give up.

All you need is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.

You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.

It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always.

If you work just for money, you’ll never make it, but if you love what you’re doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours.

The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn’t like to do.

Twenty years and $40 billion. They seem like good round numbers.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak.

A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.

The fact is, everyone is in sales. Whatever area you work in, you do have clients and you do need to sell.

Saying no to loud people gives you the resources to say yes to important opportunities.

Just saying yes because you can’t bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.

I’m endlessly optimistic about the capacity for human beings to make money solving each others’ problems.

It’s easy to be against something that you’re afraid of. And it’s easy to be afraid of something that you don’t understand.
