Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs
To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do, rather than what they say.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
A great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up.
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.
Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
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 fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times.
If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual.
Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment
Nothing will work unless you do.
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.
Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.
When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.
