Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.

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.

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

To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, who could I ask?

Don't ever promise more than you can deliver, but always deliver more than you promise.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

When inspiration does not come to me, I go halfway to meet it.

Don't mistake activity with achievement.

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.

There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.

I do know that when I am 60, I should be attempting to achieve different personal goals than those which had priority at age 20.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

Great companies are built on great products.

You can observe a lot just by watching.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

It is better to serve like steel than rust and wither away like iron.

You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.

If you try to be anyone but yourself, you will fail; if you are not true to your own heart, you will fail. Then again, there's no success like failure
