If someone gives you $1,000,000 you'd better become a millionaire so you can keep the money. Success doesn't want to hang around incompetent people.

Don't bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don't feel well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the bank, but not the marketplace.

Humility is a virtue; timidity is an illness.

Average people look forward to "getting off." Successful people look forward to "getting on."

We can no longer afford to spend major time on minor things than spend minor time on major things.

It seems that every life form on this planet strives toward its maximum potential... except human beings. A tree does not grow to half its potential size and then say, "l guess that will do." A tree will drive its roots as deep as possible. It will soak up as much nourishment as it can, stretch as high and as wide as nature will allow, and then look down as if to remind us of how much each of us could become if we would only do all that we can.

Look what you can become in pursuit of what you want, and look out for what you become in the pursuit of what you want--don't compromise!
