Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

And I leave you now, not with sadness but with satisfaction and joy that we came together and walked, arm in arm, through this brief moment of eternity. Who could ask for more?

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

I will persist until I succeed. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.

The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what the task may be. This is a habit followed by all successful people since the beginning of time. Therefore I saith the surest way to doom yourself to mediocrity is to perform only the work for which you are paid.

Don't let your success of today lay you into complacency for tomorrow. For that is the worst form of failure.

Never hide behind busy work. It takes just as much energy to fail as it does to succeed.
