Success is having a flair for the thing that you are doing, knowing that is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a sense of purpose.

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.

A great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up.

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

This is the real secret of life - to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

You can't make souffle rise twice.

When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all.

There is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, that to institute a new order of things

Because ideas have to be original only with regard to their adaptation to the problem at hand, I am always extremely interested in how others have used them...

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.

There is but one dependable method of accumulating and legally holding riches, and that is by rendering useful service.

Don't mistake activity with achievement.

For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him.

Advertising is legalized lying.

No man needs sympathy because he has to work, because he has a burden to carry. Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

If you are five minutes early, you are already ten minutes late.

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

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

To those whom much is given, much is expected.

The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.
