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

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. 

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

We shall all die, and our lives will be irrelevant then.

It's easy for the thought-leader and executive classes to embrace a 'do what you love and love what you do' philosophy when they are wealthy enough to work hard only voluntarily, and when their jobs grant them status.

The Windrush era is a very important part of British history as it helps us understand how and why we became the multicultural society we are today, and also helps us understand the history of race relations in this country.

When a man is ill nothing is so important to him as his own illness.

Dont cry because its over SMILE because it happened.

We were spending American blood and treasure to liberate the people of Afghanistan from one of the most brutal regimes on the face of the earth. That we would not use that moment to press for women's rights seems to me unthinkable.

I dont think there is anything in the whole earth that you cant learn in Berlin except the German language.

I think there's a lot of mythos about what's required in acting.

It helps an actor an awful lot when he looks like the part. There's nothing more disconcerting, that makes you more anxious or more insecure, than when you don't look like who you're supposed to be.

Lady Gaga listens to me. Her mantra is only one word - 'Bikram' - because Bikram makes her what she is today. It works.

I don't have pet peeves; I have whole kennels of irritation.

One of the things that I am learning is that each generation will have its own negotiations with identity. And one generation can not necessarily help the other generation with it.

I love you and it's getting worse.

I don't need to be rich anymore; I don't need to be a millionaire.

Arrogance and rudeness are training wheels on the bicycle of life -- for weak people who cannot keep their balance without them.

I hated baseball. I really didn't like baseball at all until someone decided they were going to pay me... Every year I played in the big leagues, the day the season ended, I called my buddies in West Virginia and said, 'I'll be home tomorrow.'

What is gained by violence must be lost before superior violence.

I'll never have a tattoo - I just don't like them, and when you're old they can look a disaster. As for piercings, I don't like them on men.

When youre the only sane person you look like the only insane person.

Is there something in druggy subjects that encourages directors to make imitation film noir? Film noir itself becomes an addiction.

I think initially, the record industry struggled a lot with digital media because there are a lot of aspects to it that can potentially destroy our industry.
