What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

I gave up the guitar in 1965. Didn’t want to see a guitar. I’d go out and get drunk. When I came out of the heart surgery, the doc said, “Promise me you’ll work hard.” I said, “I thought working hard is what got me here.” He said, “No, working is what will keep you alive.”

Some of us learn from other people’s mistakes and the rest of us have to be other people.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.
