“Vision without execution is just hallucination.”

“Success is…knowing your purpose in life,growing to reach your maximum potential, andsowing seeds that benefit others.”

“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.”

“Before success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.”

“Fortune sides with him who dares.”

“To be successful you need friends and to be very successful you need enemies.”

“To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.”

“Success, after all, loves a witness, but failure can’t exist without one.”

“Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury – to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best for both the body and the mind.”

“I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.”

“Keep your friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent”

“It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement — that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.”

“Eighty percent of success is showing up.”

“Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.”
