A leader is a dealer in hope.

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.

Believe that you will succeed

Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won’t, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t.

The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something.

A jade stone is useless before it is processed; a man is good-for-nothing until he is educated.

It’s almost always harder to raise capital than you thought it would be, and it always takes longer. So plan for that.

When times are bad is when the real entrepreneurs emerge.

If you don’t have a competitive advantage

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Remembering you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.

One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

If you think that you are going to love something, give it a try. You’re going to kick yourself in the butt for the rest of your life if you don’t.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down.

When you cease to dream you cease to live.
