Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

I hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.

I lived my teenage years in my 20s when I sort of left home and became Elton John success, then it became Elton John excess... Everything I couldn't do when I was younger I did 10 times over. I was having the time of my life. I was becoming the person that I wanted to be.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
