Why, look at me. I've worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

Earning happiness means doing good and working, not speculating and being lazy. Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction.

I've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, that's the real test.

If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over?

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure

You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.

To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously and never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture!

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

One of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average man's familiarity with the word 'impossible'.

Purity, patience, and perseverance are the three essentials to success and, above all, love.

Find out what you really love to do, and then find a way to make a good living doing it.

There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

One of the greatest discoveries a person makes, one of their great surprises, is to find they can do what they were afraid they couldn't do.

The world does not pay men for that which they 'know'. It pays them for what they do, or induce others to do.

Success is most often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.

When things go wrong don't go with them

No one ever is defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.

I hope that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
