Man will do many things to get himself loved, he will do all things to get himself envied.

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.

Ultimately, I’m not doing that much. I’m only doing what a human being who feels wants to do – in my way, without stepping out of my flow, while staying in my lane. Without, I guess, boring people.

In other words, don’t expect to always be great. Disappointments, failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say ‚we have a problem, let’s go and get it‘.

Things won are done, joy’s soul lies in the doing.

I’ve learned over the years that when I go to that place of passion within me, there’s no force in the universe that can interfere with my completing a project.

Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it… Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.

I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.

Consider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night’s date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn’t think of looking at another woman.

The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path.

God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.

I have only one counsel for you – be master.

Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.

I’m pretty calculating. I take stuff that I know appeals to people’s bad sides and match it up with stuff that appeals to their good sides.

My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.

I will never be happy without having someone. Going to sleep alone kills me.

Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

If you don’t set the tone for the day, the devil will set it for you.

Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.

Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.

I think there are things that are based in your own dealings with someone that is a personal dealing, not a public dealing. Because you have personal experiences.

Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!

Waking up every day and loving someone who may or may not love us back, whose safety we can’t ensure, who may stay in our lives or may leave without a moment’s notice, who may be loyal to the day they die or betray us tomorrow – that’s vulnerability.

I make decisions all day, so it’s nice for a woman like me to go to dinner and have the man take the menu and say, ‚Let me order.‘ Other women would be offended by that, but I’m like, ‚Good. Because I can’t make one more decision today.‘ I want someone to rub my feet without being asked.

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed… Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.

Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.

Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.

Marriage is scary to me, man.

Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish.

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.

Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

You are going to let the fear of poverty govern you life and your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live.

I’ve never bought into any sort of hard and fast, this-box/that-box characterization. People are individuals. Yes, they may be expected to be a particular way. But that doesn’t mean they’re going to be that way.

Beauty is not caused. It is.

It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.

Losing is tough.

In difficult times, we’re not supposed to quit believing; we’re not supposed to quit growing.

There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere.

My wife thinks she’s better than me at puzzles. I haven’t given in on that one yet.

God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.

Elegance is usually confused with superficiality, fashion, lack of depth. This is a serious mistake: human beings need to have elegance in their actions and in their posture because this word is synonymous with good taste, amiability, equilibrium and harmony.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.

If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‚Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.‘

Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.

Man is not made for defeat.

It’s better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.

No one has a greater asset for his business than a man’s pride in his work.

I spend a lot of time just, you know, with my girlfriend and my dog. And I mean, we don’t have a lot of furniture in our house, so it’s really simple. And we’re trying to build products for everyone in the world, right. And you don’t want to get isolated to do that.

I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it’s not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that’s not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.

If I held you any closer I would be on the other side of you.

If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.

I don’t eat with beautiful women alone.

The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they’re gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you’re going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home.

Of course there are moments that you wonder how long you should be doing it because there are other aspects which are not nice, of this lifestyle. But I just love winning.

Love always ends differently and it always begins differently – especially with me.

I believe you never get tired by doing work. You get tired when you don’t work. When you clean your house, you don’t get tired; it gives you satisfaction.
