Never buy anything in a room with a chandelier.
Knowledge is not power unless it is used.
It isn't the quality of the ideas you have that will determine whether you make a success of them, it's the qualities you bring to those ideas.
Laugh often. Starting your day with a good laugh, or at least a big smile, is as beneficial to your health as it is to your mood. Scientific studies at Northwestern University and Fordham University concluded that laughter benefits the heart, lungs, stomach and other organs. It relaxes tensions, changes attitude, and increases the body's natural painkillers. And it has no harmful side effects.
There is a place in the world for anyone in the world who says, "I'll take care of it."
Pale ink is better than the most retentive memory. If it's written down, you can look it up. Just be damn sure you write it down.
Worrying about the past or the future isn't productive. When you start chastising yourself for past mistakes, or seeing disaster around every corner, stop and take a breath and ask yourself what you can do right now to succeed.
Give your subconscious a chance to work by turning your brain off from time to time. Don't focus on work or solving problems constantly.
When you have a dream that you can't let go of, trust your instincts and pursue it. But remember: Real dreams take work, They take patience, and sometimes they require you to dig down very deep. Be sure you're willing to do that.
You'll always get the good news; it's how fast you get the bad news that counts.
No business can stay in business without customers. How you treat - or mistreat - them determines how long your doors stay open.
There is no shame in taking pride in achievements or position. But nobody gets to the top alone.
Don't confuse visibility with credibility.
America is ripe for a service revolution.
