All achievement, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.

I have far more respect for the person with a single idea who gets there than for the person with a thousand ideas who does nothing

Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action comes, stop thinking and go in.

If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.

There is one weakness in people for which there is no remedy. It is the universal weakness of lack of ambition.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

You can't make souffle rise twice.

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.

It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.

The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one's destiny to do, and then do it.

The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.

Be quick, but don't hurry.

Be interesting, be enthusiastic... and don't talk too much.

You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight

In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and - SNAP - the job's a game!

When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

Once you start a working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest.

Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.

Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success.

I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues.
