True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.

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

What I cannot create, I do not understand.

Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become

Never make excuses. Your friends don't need them and your foes won't believe them.

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

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

If we all did the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves

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.

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

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

Rich people have small TVs and big libraries, and poor people have small libraries and big TVs.

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.

The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.

Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work.

Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It s courage that counts.

With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.

Only you can control your future.

Workers of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
