A holding company is the people you give your money to while you're being searched.

If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.

Only you can control your future.

If you aspire to the highest place, it is no disgrace to stop at the second, or even the third, place.

Don't wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.

Don't mistake activity with achievement.

One of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average man's familiarity with the word 'impossible'.

If you treat people right they will treat you right - ninety percent of the time.

It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.

You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.

Action is the foundational key to all success.

Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.

When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.

Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs are, generally, easily influenced by the opinion of others.
