The road to success, for me, was a long and arduous journey, strewn with obstacles and traps, pitfalls and hurdles-all created by myself. Painful as it is, I speak of those sad and frustrating times whenever I am invited to address sales gatherings, corporate conventions, and success rallies, in the hope that my personal experiences will serve as sufficient evidence for all who hear me that they have it in their own power to make their lives as glorious or as terrible as they choose.
I will persist until I succeed. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.
And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success.
You can't conquer reality by running away from it.
In this world, the greatest rewards of success, wealth and happiness are usually obtained not through the exercise of special powers such a genius or intellect but through one's energetic use of simple means and ordinary qualities.
Already I am smiling in anticipation of the good to come
Pay less attention to what you hear about someone, and more to what you learn about them...as you make the effort.
Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.
The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
There is an immeasurable distance between late and too late.
AI will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.
Use wisely your power of choice.
I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.
Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity, but with it you can accomplish miracles.
