The loftiest towers rise from the ground.

Most 'impossible' goals can be met simply by breaking them down into bite-size chunks, writing them down, believing them, and then going full speed ahead as if they were routine.

Example is not the main thing in influencing other people; it’s the only thing

Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength.

Happiness is not a goal, but a by-product.

A wise man learns by the mistakes of others, a fool by his own.

Take risks and you'll get the payoffs. Learn from your mistakes until you succeed. It's that simple.

Make happy those who are near, and those who are far will come.

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.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma

Commitment leads to action. Action brings your dream closer.

When you go to buy, don’t show your silver

The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.
