If you’re proactive, you don’t have to wait for circumstances or other people to create perspective expanding experiences. You can consciously create your own.

You’ve got to say, “I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough, I can have it.” It’s called perseverance.

Thinking expansively includes seeing what is possible and making it happen.

Isn’t it amazing how much stuff we get done the day before vacation?

Some people make things happen, some people watch things happen, and some ask what happened.

Brainpower is the ultimate leverage.

Lack of direction not lack of time is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.

If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it.

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

You can have everything in life that you want if you just give enough other people what they want.

Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America. We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

You have to care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are or how good people think you look.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

A person with a clear purpose will make progress on even the roughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress even on the smoothest road.

We will either find a way or make one.
