The reason so many people never get anywhere in life is because when opportunity knocks, they are out in the backyard looking for four-leaf clovers.

The real secret of success is enthusiasm.

Whenever there is a hard job to be done I assign it to a lazy man; he is sure to find an easy way of doing it.

The real secret of success is enthusiasm. Yes, more than enthusiasm, I would say excitement. I like to see men get excited. When they get excited they make a success of their lives.

To me every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.

I like to build things, I like to do things. I am having a lot of fun .

I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile.

Well, some people create their own opportunities; others go where opportunities are the greatest; others fail to recognize opportunity when they are face to face with it.

It devolves upon the United States to help motorize the world.

Collecting has always been in my blood.

I am sorry about the person who is not truly excited about his job. He will not only never truly be happy there, but he won't achieve anything great.

I could feel the tears streaming down my face—in some kind of frenzied competition with the rain. At first, I tried to brush the tears away, but I finally let them take their course, unabated.

I feel like everything comes into your life for a reason.

A people unused to restraint must be led, they will not be drove.

To be the best in your field is a great ambition, and requires discipline and a huge amount of effort. The athletes who possess this drive are the ones I am attracted to.

Reject rejection! If someone says no, just say NEXT

I read like everybody - like every other writer.

Without vision you don't see, and without practicality the bills don't get paid.
