My success rate speaks for itself.

I don’t measure my success anymore by the Grammys. I can’t because I’ll just end up crushed.

No decent career was ever founded on a public.

Successful people are simply those with successful habits.

I think that once you’ve had a few No. 1s in your career that you’ve kind of proven yourself, and I don’t feel the need to prove anything anymore.

‚Victory‘ is like, you won, so the question is, what? What did you win? I think that the songs go into that. It’s just about reaching a place in myself.

There is nothing impossible to him who will try.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going.

If you are surrounded by your competition and you are outworking these people, outmaneuvering these people, it’s hard not to let your confidence take over. It just builds and builds and builds.

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

In ninth grade, I came up with a new form of rebellion. I hadn’t been getting good grades, but I decided to get all A’s without taking a book home. I didn’t go to math class, because I knew enough and had read ahead, and I placed within the top 10 people in the nation on an aptitude exam.

An agent won’t help you get drafted higher, won’t make you win more games, and won’t make you faster or stronger.

No one that encounters prosperity does not also encounter danger.

Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.

Above anything else, I hate to lose.

Only stupid people are changed by success.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The richest people in the world look for and build networks; everyone else looks for work.

Luck marches with those who give their very best.

It always seems impossible until it’s done.

Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.

I enjoy singing my songs in front of people. I enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.

Success isn’t supposed to happen, no matter how hard you work. There’s no guarantee you’re going to succeed. There’s nothing set in stone.

I’ve been blessed to be somebody that’s been climbing that success mountain top for years of hard work, you know, but now it’s all connecting. And now, the whole world is watching, you know what I’m saying, and it feels good ‚cause it’s good energy. This is all positive vibes, and good vibes and good energy, so it feels incredible.

What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

My strong point, if I have a strong point, is performance. I always do more than I say. I always produce more than I promise.

What keeps me going is goals.

I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.

Treat failure as a lesson on how not to approach achieving a goal, and then use that learning to improve your chances of success when you try again. Failure is only the end if you decide to stop.

I’d sooner be called a successful crook than a destitute monarch.

If you have a success you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.

I write in order to attain that feeling of tension relieved and function achieved which a cow enjoys on giving milk.

Never was anything great achieved without danger.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

Einstein’s gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest single achievement of theoretical physics, resulted in beautiful relations connecting gravitational phenomena with the geometry of space; this was an exciting idea.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

If you don’t understand the details of your business you are going to fail.

If I’m a star, then the people made me a star.

That nice, soft pillow and the warm blanket, and it’s all comfortable, and no one wants to leave that comfort – but if you can wake up early in the morning, get a head start on everyone else that’s still sleeping, get productive time doing things that you need to do – that’s a huge piece to moving your life forward.

It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.

Energy, like the biblical grain of the mustard-seed, will remove mountains.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

I used to feel unsafe right in the moment of an accomplishment – I felt the ground fall from under my feet because this could be the end. And even now, while everyone is celebrating, I’m on to the next thing. I don’t want to get lost in this big cushion of success.

I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

We had hundreds of thousands of people all dedicated to doing the perfect job, and I think they did about as well as anyone could ever have expected.

Sometimes people make it seem like you have to have certain prerequisites or a crazy life story in order to be successful in this world. But the truth is you really don’t.

It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.

I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.

When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough.

Of course awards matter.

I love eating chocolate cake and ice cream after a show. I almost justify it in my mind as, ‚You were a good boy onstage and you did your show, so now you can have some cake and ice cream.‘

The successful men I admired all built their bodies.

I sang a song at my sister’s wedding. My mother forced me into that, too. But that one felt all right.

The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.

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.

Well done is better than well said.

Ability is nothing without opportunity.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

I just figured out that if I gave my all into this game – if I put everything into the fight business – then I would eventually run the fight business.
