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.

What do you need to start a business? Three simple things: know your product better than anyone, know your customer, and have a burning desire to succeed.

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

One can get anything if he is willing to help enough others get what they want.

The successful man is the one who finds out what is the matter with his business before his competitors do.

People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you don’t have a competitive advantage

The biggest failure you can have in life is not trying at all.

It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.

Do not wait to strike until the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

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

Worry about being better; bigger will take care of itself. Think one customer at a time and take care of each one the best way you can.

You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.

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

While a good leader sustains momentum, a great leader increases it.
