If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.

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

When things go wrong don't go with them

No man ever achieved worthwhile success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.

If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother and hope your guardian genius.

I will prepare and some day my chance will come.

If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been due more to patient attention, than to any other talent.

It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.

True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.

Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.

No man can taste the fruits of autumn while he is delighting his scent with the flowers of spring.

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

Please all, and you will please none.

Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals

Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.

Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.

I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.

Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
