Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.

It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.

Part of your heritage in this society is the opportunity to become financially independent.

Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.

Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.

Take time to gather up the past so that you will be able to draw from your experience and invest them in the future.

If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.

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.

Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness - great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy.

If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.

Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.

Make measurable progress in reasonable time.

Whatever good things we build end up building us.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.

Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.

The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.

You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
