It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.
That is a good book which is opened with expectation and closed with profit.
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
The one thing that offends me the most is when I walk by a bank and see ads trying to convince people to take out second mortgages on their home so they can go on vacation. That's approaching evil.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
I’m a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down.
I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for ten years.
