To be a forceful figure in the business world means, as a rule, that you must be an individual of one idea, and that idea the God-given one that life has destined you for a tremendous future in the particular field you have chosen. It means that one thing, a cake of soap, a new can-opener, a safety razor, or speed-accelerator, must seize on your imagination with tremendous force, burn as a raging flame, and make itself the be-all and end-all of your existence. As a rule, a man needs poverty to help him to this enthusiasm, and youth.
The thing he has discovered, and with which he is going to busy himself, must be the door to a thousand opportunities and a thousand joys.
Happiness must be beyond or the fire will not burn as brightly as it might—the urge will not be great enough to make a great success.
Success is going from failure to failure...without loss of enthusiasm.
A plan is only as good as those who see it through.
An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
Making sure you're rested is also part of the job.
You can be successful and have enemies or you can be unsuccessful and have friends.
