I’ll drink water. Sometimes tomato juice, which I like. Sometimes orange juice, which I like. I’ll drink different things. But the Coke or Pepsi boosts you up a little.

I don’t blame China, I blame the incompetence of past Admins for allowing China to take advantage of the U.S. on trade leading up to a point where the U.S. is losing $100’s of billions. How can you blame China for taking advantage of people that had no clue? I would’ve done same!

I have a very simple rule when it comes to management: hire the best people from your competitors, pay them more than they were earning, and give them bonuses and incentives based on their performance. That’s how you build a first-class operation.

I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.

We become what we think about most of the time, and that’s the strangest secret.

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

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

I took up an offer for me to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. It worked. I lost 30 days!

Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings.

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously and never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture!

Courage is on display every day, and only the courageous wring the most out of life.

The most important thing is to know that you can do it.

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

See yourself as a work in progress.
