If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.

I believe that one person can make a difference.

You’re not better than anybody else, but you’re not less than anybody else. You’re a child of the Most High God.

Remind yourself that the greatest technique for bringing peace into your life is to always choose being kind when you have a choice between being right or being kind.

The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another.

Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don’t recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

Life’s too short to hang out with people who aren’t resourceful.

I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure.

My view is there’s no bad time to innovate.

It has always been my belief that a man should do his best, regardless of how much he receives for his services, or the number of people he may be serving or the class of people served.

I built a label at the same time I built a career.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble.

The truth is, somebody is always talking about you, so you have to let it go… if it’s not a part of your God-given destiny.

I’m going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.

Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.

The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit.

What you are comes to you.

There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.

Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes,‘ he said, his voice rising as applause and cheers mounted. ‚Shake it off. Stop complainin‘. Stop grumblin‘. Stop cryin‘. We are going to press on. We have work to do.

We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.

All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened.

I’m always asked, ‚What’s the secret to success?‘ But there are no secrets. Be humble. Be hungry. And always be the hardest worker in the room.

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit.

If we’re going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.

I’m here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don’t follow what you’ve been told you’re supposed to do.

This is not a bad life.

The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.

Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man’s happiness really lies in contentment.

Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful.

Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.

Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance – the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it; better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen.

I feel like I have a job to do, like I constantly have to reinvent myself. The more I up the ante for myself, the better it is in the long run. I try to interact with my fans as much as possible. It’s good that the person I’m being onstage isn’t really an act. It’s really me.

If you think only of evil, then you become pessimistic and hopeless like Freud. But if you think there is no evil, then you’re just one more deluded Pollyanna.

I’ve felt like an outsider all my life. It comes from my mother, who always felt like an outsider in my father’s family. She was a powerful woman, and she motivated my father.

I’d like to think you don’t stop being creative once you get happy. My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

Do you wish people to think well of you? Don’t speak well of yourself.

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.

Success is not a stop sign.

As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

I think that success is having fun.

I want to believe that I am improving. This is something that I take really seriously.

If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.

You don’t have to give way to careless speech or complaining. You don’t have to let your feelings get in the way of what God wants to do in your life.

If your inner life is not producing what you would like on the outside, don’t be discouraged… just be willing to change.

We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.

People in tough times – it doesn’t mean they don’t have a great attitude.

If you’re not producing as much as you consume, or perhaps a little more, then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us, and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.

I feel real good because it’s about representing the young world and how to uplift each other and how to push us to be greater and make sure we don’t fall or get trapped or get in trouble, you know what I mean. Stay focused, you know what I mean.

The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire.

As is the case with most people in this game, I am driven by financial motives and creative motives; the question I had to answer is which motive I will give priority to?

For me, money is not my definition of success. Inspiring people is a definition of success.

If an idea isn’t exciting, you shouldn’t do it.
