Nenhum mentiroso tem uma memória suficientemente boa para ser um mentiroso de êxito. 

A persistência é o caminho do êxito. 

O sucesso nasce do querer, da determinação e persistência em se chegar a um objetivo. Mesmo não atingindo o alvo, quem busca e vence obstáculos, no mínimo fará coisas admiráveis. 

Agir, eis a inteligência verdadeira. Serei o que quiser. Mas tenho que querer o que for. O êxito está em ter êxito, e não em ter condições de êxito. Condições de palácio tem qualquer terra larga, mas onde estará o palácio se não o fizerem ali? 

Determinação, coragem e auto-confiança são fatores decisivos para o sucesso. Se estamos possuídos por uma inabalável determinação, conseguiremos superá-los. Independentemente das circunstâncias, devemos ser sempre humildes, recatados e despidos de orgulho. 

A vitalidade é demonstrada não apenas pela persistência, mas pela capacidade de começar de novo. 

Só se pode alcançar um grande êxito quando nos mantemos fiéis a nós mesmos. 

Todo mundo é capaz de sentir os sofrimentos de um amigo. Ver com agrado os seus êxitos exige uma natureza muito delicada. 

Creia em si, mas não duvide sempre dos outros. 

As únicas grandes companhias que conseguirão ter êxito são aquelas que consideram os seus produtos obsoletos antes que os outros o façam. 

Talento é dom, é graça. E sucesso nada tem haver com sorte, mas com determinação e trabalho. 

Estar decidido, acima de qualquer coisa, é o segredo do êxito. 

Para obter êxito no mundo temos de parecer loucos mas sermos espertos. 

A disciplina é a mãe do êxito. 

Para ter um negócio de sucesso, alguém, algum dia, teve que tomar uma atitude de coragem. 

My father worked for the railroad, and whenever a train crashed, we would go as a family and steal food from the boxcars. One year we stole a case of butterscotch pudding that was for export to Israel. It took us years to get through.

Having a little girl has been like following an old treasure map with the important paths torn away.

I'm very hard on myself because I know how good my body can look. Dorie has taught me to use less weight and more repetition so I don't become too muscular.

I heard stories from my mother's mother who was an American Indian. She was spiritual, although she did not go to church, but she had the hum. She used to tell me stories of the rivers.

A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and sorrow real poverty.

Art is based on emotion, but being macho is based on ego; the wall protecting that emotion.

The U.S. Congress can do a lot to support America's workplaces and the family. By working together in a bipartisan fashion, we can ensure our constituents get jobs they need while helping employers make smart decisions about their workforce.

I think that there are fiction writers for whom that works well. I could never do it. I feel as if, by the time I see that it's a poem, it's almost written in my head somewhere.

As a candidate, Obama disdained the game of politics, a self-conscious contrast to all the tireless political athletes named Clinton.

Economists want their discipline to be a science, and they have nailed down a few precepts, but many of their debates are still clouded by ideology.

I'm not a meek lady who stays at home and cooks.

I got a big mouth.

All of my life, when things got too difficult, I folded up the tent and went to bed. I couldn't stand a challenge... I was terrified of confrontation. I was very laid-back, and just wouldn't get involved or fight back.

A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar you pretend its not there.

From 1983 to 2000, William Goren stole more than $30 million from investors on Long Island and in Queens. His favorite targets were widows and retired couples, like Helga and Simon Novack, Holocaust survivors who gave Mr. Goren their life savings.

I think, as a coach, you have to be willing to do what's best for the player. And you say what's best for the player: is it better to give him a game suspension, three-game suspension, no suspension. I think each case may be different in that.

I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between.
