A ship in harbor is safe, but that’s not what ships are for.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

If you’ve got an idea, start today. There’s no better time than now to get going. That doesn’t mean quit your job and jump into your idea 100% from day one, but there’s always small progress that can be made to start the movement.

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

The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is likely to neither make money nor find much fun in life.
