Timothy Leary

Inspiration is for amateurs. I just get to work.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

I wasn’t satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.

For 24 years of my adult life, by choice I weighed well over 200 pounds. I say ‘by choice’ because I have never ‘accidentally’ eaten anything, so when I choose to eat too much, I have chosen to weigh too much.

Life is about growing and evolving. I feel like my life has been in stages, and the stages I went through when I was younger allowed me to grow into the man I am today.

You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.

You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life.

It’s important that you learn to be an entrepreneur or an investor…. Not a saver!

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

I am a visceral person by nature. I act on instinct, quickly, without pondering possible disaster and without indulging in deep introspection.

There are no speed limits on the road to success.

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

Goals enable you to do more for yourself and others, too.

That’s how we do it… we give back to the people who made us who we are. We never forget that.
