Nobody rises above mediocrity unless they use the brains of other people.

Keep your mind fixed on what you want in life: not on what you don't want.

The mind becomes withered, stagnant, narrow and closed unless it searches for new ideas.

You are fortunate if you have learned the difference between temporary defeat and failure, more fortunate still if you have learned the truth that the very seed of success is dormant in every defeat that you experience.

You know, it's not more knowledge, it's not more education, it's not more facts that we need. It's a better use of what we already have that we need to have. You have each and every one of you, within your potential power right now to do a wonderful job in your chosen field - if you would only embrace it and use it.

If your environment is not to your liking, change it!

[E]very job is composed of many small details, any one of which, if overlooked, can create big problems later.
