Of all the things I've done, the most vital is coordinating those who work with me and aiming their efforts at a certain goal

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues.

It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.

I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

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.

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

If you're trying to create a company, it's like baking a cake. You have to have all the ingredients in the right proportion.

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.

You can't make souffle rise twice.

No man needs sympathy because he has to work, because he has a burden to carry. Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.

If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother and hope your guardian genius.

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

We don't know a millionth of one percent about anything.

I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it.

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.
