Let the views of others educate and inform you, but let your decisions be a product of your own conclusions.

Don't set your goals too low. If you don't need much, you won't become much.

If you are not financially independent by the time you are forty or fifty, it doesn't mean that you are living in the wrong country or at the wrong time. It simply means that you have the wrong plan.

Your life, my life, the life of each one of us is going to serve as either a warning or an example. A warning of the consequences of neglect, self-pity, lack of direction and ambition... or an example of talent put to use, of discipline self-imposed, and of objectives clearly perceived and intensely pursued.

Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals.

Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you're signed up for a season, see it through. You don't have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.

Some things you have to do every day. Eating about seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
