Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs

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

I don't believe people die from hard work. They die from stress and worry and fear -- the negative emotions. Those are the killers, not hard work. The fact is, in our society today, most people don't understand what hard work is all about.

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

Advertising is legalized lying.

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

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

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste

You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Dont make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people cant take their eyes off of you.

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

As you start to walk out on the way, the way appears.

Tell the audience what you're going to say, say it; then tell them what you've said.

When things go wrong don't go with them

If you're trying to create a company, it's like baking a cake. You have to have all the ingredients in the right proportion.

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

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

Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.
