Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

There is a direct relationship between joy and effort. The joy of success is in ratio to the amount of effort expended to achieve it

Don't wait for mentors to seek you out. Don't ever wait for your phone calls to be returned, your letters to be answered, your faxes to be responded to. Keep going out and asking question.

The price of success is to bear the criticism of envy.

Focus all your attention and energy on the achievement of the objectives you are involved with right now.

Out of need springs desire, and out of desire springs the energy and the will to win.

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future.
