Remember, no more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty.
You'll get more from being a peacemaker than a warrior.
To the eye of failure success is an accident.
A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.
But get it while you're here boy, cause all that hype don't feel the same next year boy.
Success is not in never failing, but rising everytime you fall!
Making an effort is in your hands. Giving 100% is in your hands.
It is tragic that Howard Hughes had to die to prove that he was alive.
When you're a victim, you automatically have a built-in excuse for failure. When you are a victim, it's always somebody else's fault. When you're a victim, success is not possible. When you are a victim of something, you are acknowledging that you are as far as you're gonna get, and you can't get any further, because there are more powerful forces arrayed against you than the force of yourself against it.
Understanding variation is the key to success in quality and business.
Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.
You don't really see a muscle as a part of you, in a way. You see it as a thing. You look at it as a thing and you say well this thing has to be built a little longer, the bicep has to be longer; or the tricep has to be thicker here in the elbow area. And you look at it and it doesn't even seem to belong to you. Like a sculpture. Then after looking at it a sculptor goes in with his thing and works a little bit, and you do maybe then some extra forced reps to get this lower part out. You form it. Just like a sculpture.
Bear figs for a season or two, and the world outside the orchard is very unwilling you should bear thistles.
I measure my success by how happy I am, not how big the business is or how much money I've made.
I fell in love with gymnastics. I love what I do now. I work with people that I love to be around. Success comes from that.
The real measure of success is the number of experiments that can be crowded into 24 hours.
Hard work is a prison sentence only if it does not have meaning.
I was always afraid of things that worked the first time. Long experience proved that there were great drawbacks found generally before they could be got commercial; but here was something there was no doubt of.
Success can be wracking and reproachful, to you and those close to you. It can entangle you with legends that are consuming and all but impossible to live up to.
Acting is all about honesty. If you can fake that, you've got it made.
