Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.

I am thankful to all those who said NO to me. It's because of them I did it myself.

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.

God sells us all things at the price of labor.

What one has to do usually can be done.

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.

You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

And that is the reason why this victory is great, because different players have made contributions to the win.

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.

The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.

Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.

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

Do one thing at a time, and while doing it put your whole soul into it to the exclusion of all else.

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.

At least with me, the match starts much, much earlier than the actual match.

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

If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
