It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals

Sell a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish, you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.

At least with me, the match starts much, much earlier than the actual match.

Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.

The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experiences behind him.

The successful leader must plan his work and work his plan.

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 A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

If youre in the luckiest one per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent.

Work and worship are necessary to take away the veil, to lift off the bondage and illusion.

I've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, that's the real test.

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs

Kill my boss? Do I dare live out the American dream?
