It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.

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

If you live for weekends or vacations, your shit is broken

The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

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

I learned not to worry so much about the outcome, but to concentrate on the step I was on and to try to do it as perfectly as I could when I was doing it.

Hire character. Train skill.

To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business, and your business in your heart.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

You have a viable business only if your product is either better or cheaper than the alternatives. If it’s not one or the other, you might make some money at first, but it’s not a sustainable business.

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.

It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission

Not a single person whose name is worth remembering lived a life of ease.

To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business, and your business in your heart.

Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you’re not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.

Money and success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.

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