This is the most exciting study there is. It is the only thing I know of in life that makes you feel consistently better, whether it's success or failure, whether they love you or hate you.
The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede. What stands in your way is that you have a much too willful will. You think that what you do not do yourself does not happen.
For someone who's had the level of success I've had, there's been very little critical review of my work, which is pretty fascinating.
Success is a pile of failure that you are standing on.
Success is not in reaching the destination, but in making the journey.
I wish I had been more prepared, both for success and for failure, when I was younger.
Failure is not an option for me. Success is all I envision
I just use my muscles as a conversation piece, like someone walking a cheetah down 42nd Street.
I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion.
Success is tricky to deal with, both professionally and in your personal life.
I want success. I want to do something. I really want people to remember my name.
Be ready when opportunity comes. . . Luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet.
I've talked to nearly 30,000, people on this show, and all 30,000, had one thing in common: They all wanted validation. . . I would tell you that every single person you will ever meet shares that common desire.
The most dangerous moment comes with victory.
It isn't where you came from, its where you're going that counts.
The decisions that you make each day can actually catapult you to that next level of achievement.
Success is uncommon and not to be enjoyed by the common man. I'm looking for uncommon people because we want to be successful, not average.
The world is more than a game of cards. History is more than a record of gambling operations.
There's no abiding success without commitment.
Regarding the Economy & Taxation: America's most successful achievers do pay a higher share of the total tax burden. The top one percent income earners paid 18 percent of the total tax burden in 1981, and paid 25 percent in 1991. The bottom 50 percent of income earners paid only 8 percent of the total tax burden, and paid only 5 percent in 1991. History shows that tax cuts have always resulted in improved economic growth producing more tax revenue in the treasury.
