Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.

The one thing I regret was that my work required an enormous amount of my time, and a lot of travel.

Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty; what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness.

It’s a piece of cake until you get to the top. You find you can’t stop playing the game the way you’ve always played it.

It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.

I never woke up and thought, ‚I really want to live a bold life.‘

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

The young think that failure is the Siberian end of the line, banishment from all the living, and tend to do what I then did – which was to hide.

My interest in creating anything is that it be useful.

My friends, no matter how rough the road may be, we can and we will, never, never surrender to what is right.

It usually helps me write by reading – somehow the reading gear in your head turns the writing gear.

When one has a great deal to put into it a day has a hundred pockets.

I tried acting, liked it, and stuck with it. I saw it as the way I would keep that promise to myself of getting back at those who had made my school life a misery.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

Ideas excite me, and as soon as I get excited, the adrenaline gets going and the next thing I know I’m borrowing energy from the ideas themselves.

I don’t think I will ever be content. I am somebody who is always hungry.

With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.

A revolution is not a bed of roses.

People who use time wisely spend it on activities that advance their overall purpose in life.

I’ve always been an underdog. I feel like I beat the odds.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

Act well your part, there all the honour lies.

I’m always disappointed when people don’t live up to their potential. I know that a number of people look down on themselves and consequently on everybody who looks like them. But that, too, can change.

It’s pretty hard to be efficient without being obnoxious.

Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.

In the realm of ideas everything depends on enthusiasm… in the real world all rests on perseverance.

He who laughs best today, will also laughs last.

God’s desire is that we excel.

When you are asked if you can do a job, tell ‚em, ‚Certainly I can!‘ Then get busy and find out how to do it.

If I can be a leader, I will.

Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals.

Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.

To lead people walk behind them.

If a leader doesn’t convey passion and intensity then there will be no passion and intensity within the organization and they’ll start to fall down and get depressed.

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

‚They‘ is… stay away from them, please. There is so many different definitions of ‚they.‘ You might have a personal ‚they.‘ They against you; they want you broken and miserable. They don’t like winners; they don’t like people who’s blessed. So everybody’s got a different ‚they.‘

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

It takes a long time to bring the past up to the present.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

I think how you start the day many times determines what kind of day you’re going to have.

Time is the least thing we have of.

I’m gonna go hard no matter what because I gotta feed my family, and I gotta feed myself.

It was like I was in a tunnel. Not only the tunnel under the hotel but the whole circuit was a tunnel. I was just going and going, more and more and more and more. I was way over the limit but still able to find even more.

A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.

Those who say it can’t be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.

I have short goals – to get better every day, to help my teammates every day – but my only ultimate goal is to win an NBA championship. It’s all that matters. I dream about it. I dream about it all the time, how it would look, how it would feel. It would be so amazing.

Get up tomorrow early in the morning, and earlier than you did today, and do the best that you can. Always stay near me, for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had, and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

Over a 10-year period, 99 out of 100 new entrepreneurs will fail. Only one will be left standing as others get pushed out of the market or burn out from working so hard. It’s really sad.

I think it’s quite great to set yourself a big challenge, and then you’ve got another reason for keeping fit.

I know Elon, we’re very like minded in many ways. We’re not conceptual twins. One thing I want us to do is go to Mars, but for me it’s one thing. He’s singularly focused on that. I think motivation wise, for me I don’t find that Plan B idea motivating. I don’t want a plan B for Earth, I want Plan B to make sure Plan A works.

I’ve always liked being busy. If I have nothing to do for a week, it just makes me mad.

I probably wouldn’t have made it this far if I were a refugee.

I can’t say that my disability has helped my work, but it has allowed me to concentrate on research without having to lecture or sit on boring committees.

Why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.

You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself.
