You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

Success is not what you have, but who you are.

If you ain’t making waves, you ain’t kickin’ hard enough

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great

If you start with nothing and end up with nothing, there’s nothing lost.

The only journey is the one within.

Don’t treat your customers like a bunch of purses and wallets.

Never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others… I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

When times are bad is when the real entrepreneurs emerge.

There is only one success

If you’re not learning while you’re earning, you’re cheating yourself out of the better portion of your compensation.

Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

Success is doing what you want, where you want, when you want, with whom you want as much as you want.

Never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

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.

It’s not about how to get started; its about how to get noticed.

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