 An ounce of hypocracy is worth a pound of ambition. |
| Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility... in the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have... is the ability to take on responsibility. |
| One of the first rules of playing the power game is that all bad news must be accepted calmly, as if one already knew and didn't care. |
| Success has always been easy to measure. It is the distance between one's origins and one's final achievement. |
| The freedom to fail is vital if you're going to succeed. Most successful people fail from time to time, and it is a measure of their strength that failure merely propels them into some new attempt at success. |
| Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity. |
| This is true enough, but success is the next best thing to happiness, and if you can't be happy as a success, it's very unlikely that you would find a deeper, truer happiness in failure. |
| The purely agitation attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject. |
| Luck can often mean simply taking advantage of a situation at the right moment. It is possible to make your luck by being always prepared. |
| Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you desire from what you do. If you are in a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out. |
| The fastest way to succeed is to look as if you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing by your own. |
| Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life. |
| To succeed it is necessary to accept the world as it is and rise above it. |
| Never reveal all of yourself to other people; hold back something in reserve so that people are never quite sure if they really know you. |
| An once of hypocrisy is worth a pound of ambition. |
| It's not a field, I think, for people who need to have success every day: if you can't live with a nightly sort of disaster, you should get out. I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that the ghosts you chase you never catch. |
| The more you can dream, the more you can do. |
| What you hear repeatedly you will eventually believe. |
| One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals. |
| The biggest fool in the world is he who merely does his work supremely well, without attending to appearance. |
