The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Winners never quit and quitters never win.

My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself. I see life almost like one long University education that I never had — everyday I’m learning something new.

Every time you state what you want or believe, you’re the first to hear it. It’s a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don’t put a ceiling on yourself.

It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.

One of the huge mistakes people make is that they try to force an interest on themselves. You don’t choose your passions; your passions choose you.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Genius is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration.

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 the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

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.

Success is not what you have, but who you are.

Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won’t so you can spend the rest of your life like most people cant.

To win without risk is to triumph without glory.

There is only one success- to be able to spend your life in your own way.

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

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

What is not started will never get finished

When you cease to dream you cease to live.

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.

The most valuable thing you can make is a mistake- you can’t learn anything from being perfect.

When leaves turn bright colors in the fall they make one last effort to compete with the flowers.
