Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.
Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.
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.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
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.
Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.
If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.
Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight
If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.
Get around people who have something of value to share with you. Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long they have departed.
Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.
