Andrew Carnegie

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.

Aim for the highest

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

Your biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s getting too comfortable.

Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die.

Better an ‘oops’ than a ‘what if’.

You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.

Every setback might be the very thing that makes you carry on and fight all the harder and become much better.

All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind.

It is true that integrity alone won’t make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one.

“Success in life is knowing the difference between ham and eggs; the chicken’s involved, the pig is committed.”

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.

How about dreaming out loud? How about feeling that something can happen to make the world better and inspire people? Is that OK for one second?

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.

Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.

I believe it’s important that we use names of endearment that reflect a special feeling for the individual involved.
