Honesty and integrity are by far the most important assets of an entrepreneur.

If you’re going to have to swallow a frog, you don’t want to have to look at that sucker too long!

How you see the future is much more important than what happened in your past.

You can succeed at almost anything for which you have unbridled enthusiasm.

Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.

You’ve got to be before you can do and do before you can have.

Dream big dreams. Only big dreams have the power to move men’s souls.

Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to ‘gamble’ on an unknown.

In God we trust; all others bring data.

What I really want out of life is to discover something new, something that mankind didn’t know was possible to do.

Selling is essentially a transfer of feelings.

I did not breeze in there thinking: ‘I’m going to nail this.’ My heart rate was not low when I was doing the Golden Globes. I wanted to do well. It’s very bizarre to be in a room where everybody in your audience is famous. But also: it’s an awards show!

I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.

A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.

… be aware that even before you have reached your ultimate professional destination … you can and should have a substantial impact on the world in which you live.

Vision is not enough – it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.

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.

Someday is not a day of the week.

The future belongs to the dreamers, not to the critics. The future belongs to the people who follow their heart, no matter what the critics say, because they truly believe in their vision.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

There is no dream you can’t achieve. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
