» Belief » “In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can.”
» Dreams » “The more you can dream, the more you can do.”
» Failure » “Never walk away from failure. On the contrary, study it carefully and imaginatively for its hidden assets.”
» Fools and Foolishness » “The biggest fool in the world is he who merely does his work supremely well, without attending to appearance.”
» Luck » “Luck can often mean simple taking advantage of a situation at the right moment, It is possible to ”make” your luck by being always prepared.”
» Men and Women » “Men naturally resent it when women take greater liberties in dress than men are allowed.”
» Mistakes » “The freedom to fail is vital if you’re going to succeed, most successful men fail time and time again, and it is a measure of their strength that failure merely propels them into some new attempt at success.”
» Momentum » “One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.”
» Responsibility » “Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility. In the final analysis, the only quality that all successful people have is the ability to take on responsibility.”
» Success » “Success has always been easy to measure. It is the distance between one’s origins and one’s final achievement.”
» Success » “This is true enough, but success is the next best thing to happiness, and if you can’t be happy as a success, it’s very unlikely that you would find a deeper, truer happiness in failure.”
» Success » “To succeed it is necessary to accept the world as it is and rise above it.”
