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

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. 

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. 

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

Korea taught me nothing, for no one spoke of it when I was growing up, except as something about how wonderful the girls in Japan were. Vietnam taught some of us more than we perhaps ever wished to know.

Almost all the early Christian Fathers were opposed to the death penalty, even though it was of course standard practice across the ancient world.

There are plenty of problems in the world, and doubtless climate change - or whatever the currently voguish phrase for it all is - certainly is one of them. But it's low on my list.

The meek are those who quietly submit themselves to God, to His Word and to His rod, who follow His directions, and comply with His designs, and are gentle toward all men.

I've always been a bit of a car freak.

I guess that there are many ways to look at being single, and none of them should include shame or feeling less valued.

Incumbent Congresswoman Bustos has proven during her time in Washington that she doesn't understand or feel the pain of middle class families. We need a true representative fighting for us in Washington, and incumbent Congresswoman Cheri Bustos has refused to act.

If you have not seen it FOOTBALL is a game in which men shove one another back and forth for no reason. They do not choose how when or whom they shove.

The artistic capability of reinforced concrete is so fantastic - that is the way to go.

Our culture is so obsessed with the idea that you're going to go through a crisis or some difficult event and come out the other side a changed or improved person, and I just think that if you're honest, that often does not happen, and in fact, it shouldn't happen.

My goal is to embrace the people, the 'natural resources' of Israel, and to build businesses with the creative Israelis.
