When you cease to dream you cease to live

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward.

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

Success is how high you bounce after you hit bottom

What is not started will never get finished

Don’t be cocky. Don’t be flashy. There’s always someone better than you.

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

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.

Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.

Ever notice how it’s a penny for your thoughts, yet you put in your two-cents? Someone is making a penny on the deal.

Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching.

I’m not afraid of dying, I’m afraid of not trying.

If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not making decisions.

There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

I didn’t go to college, but if I did, I would’ve taken all my tests at a restaurant, ’cause ‘The customer is always right.’

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