Men have their virtues and their vices, their heroisms and their perversities; men are neither wholly good nor wholly bad, but possess and practice all that there is of good and bad here below. Such is the general rule. Temperament, education, the accidents of life, are modifying factors. Outside of this, everything is ordered arrangement, everything is chance. Such has been my rule of expectation and it has usually brought me success.

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

I'm either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life.

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

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.

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