The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.

One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.

I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.

Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it.

Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.

Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.

He conquers who endures.

Hitch your wagon to a star.

I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.

Poverty was the greatest motivating factor in my life.
