Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.

Do. Or do not. There is no try.

To any entrepreneur: if you want to do it, do it now. If you don’t, you’re going to regret it

It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen.

I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game's winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that's why I succeed.

There’s nothing wrong with staying small. You can do big things with a small team.

Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.

If you just work on stuff that you like and you’re passionate about, you don’t have to have a master plan with how things will play out.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

There’s lots of bad reasons to start a company. But there’s only one good, legitimate reason, and I think you know what it is: it’s to change the world.

The secret to successful hiring is this: look for the people who want to change the world.

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

If you’re not a risk taker, you should get the hell out of business.

Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.

Always deliver more than expected.

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.

You shouldn’t focus on why you can’t do something, which is what most people do. You should focus on why perhaps you can, and be one of the exceptions.

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical.

I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.

Be undeniably good. No marketing effort or social media buzzword can be a substitute for that.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take.

Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.

It’s almost always harder to raise capital than you thought it would be, and it always takes longer. So plan for that.

If you don't know what to do with your life, do something that saves lives. The world is full of of people in need, be the part of their life that fills that need.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

I hate how many people think, “glass half-empty” when their glass is really four-fifths full. I’m grateful when I have one drop in the glass because I know exactly what to do with it.

It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.

Fail often so you can succeed sooner.

We are currently not planning on conquering the world.

Timing, perseverance, and ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an overnight success.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.

When you cease to dream you cease to live

Don’t worry about funding if you don’t need it. Today it’s cheaper to start a business than ever.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.

In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create.

Success is how high you bounce after you hit bottom.

If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

Don’t try to be original, just try to be good.

I’m not afraid of dying, I’m afraid of not trying.

You can say anything to anyone, but how you say it will determine how they will react

I am still a keen mountain walker and an enthusiastic glider pilot.
