Success is the next best thing to happiness, and if you can't be happy as a success, it's very unlikely that you would find a deeper, truer happiness in failure.

One of the first rules of playing the power game is that all bad news must be accepted calmly, as if one already knew and didn't care.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility in the final analysis. The one quality that all successful people have is the ability to take on responsibility.

Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity.

Never walk away from failure. On the contrary, study it carefully and imaginatively for its hidden assets.

Even the most careful and expensive marketing plans cannot sell people a book they don't want to read.

You need your strength and you need as much support from family, friends, and loved ones as you can get.
