Goodness is the only investment that never fails.

Better a little which is well done, than a great deal imperfectly.

You will never exaggerate when you speak good things of God. It is not possible to do so. Try, dear brethren, and boast in the Lord.

So many people have this idea: I want to achieve something great or be somebody great. And they neglect the step that leads to greatness. They don’t honor this step at this moment because they have this idea of some future moment where they are going to be great.

Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness is it to be expecting evil before it comes.

He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much.

I don’t carry the burden of the past or the madness of the future. I live in the present.

You must take the compromise to win, or else nothing. That means: you race or you do not.

The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.

The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman.

Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

All the goodness I have within me is totally from the Lord alone. When I sin, it is from me and is done on my own, but when I act righteously, it is wholly and completely of God.

No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.

I don’t go down the road of condemning.

I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life.

If you think only of evil, then you become pessimistic and hopeless like Freud. But if you think there is no evil, then you’re just one more deluded Pollyanna.

I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done.

You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.

You have to dream before your dreams can come true.

I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

As a precious metal, silver is also money.

If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.

I’ve always strived to be successful, not famous.

Fun is one of the most important – and underrated – ingredients in any successful venture. If you’re not having fun, then it’s probably time to call it quits and try something else.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

What by a straight path cannot be reached by crooked ways is never won.

Riches have never fascinated me, unless combined with the greatest charm or distinction.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.

Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved.

In business, success often depends upon the relative age of your ideas.

If the leader is filled with high ambition and if he pursues his aims with audacity and strength of will, he will reach them in spite of all obstacles.

I try to make it look easy, but the behind-the-scenes stuff is the challenge.

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

If you don’t understand the details of your business you are going to fail.

He that humbleth himself wishes to be exalted.

You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.

The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.

I like to have fun all the time, even if I’m working.

A man is what he thinks about all day long.

In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time.

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

I think the tiniest little thing can change the course of your day, which can change the course of your year, which can change who you are.

For success of any mission, it is necessary to have creative leadership. Creative leadership is vital for government, non-governmental organisations as well as for industries.

God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.

I think if I keep working in the way that I am, from the heart and from passion and with love, well, the fruits of that will keep coming.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

It needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that’s the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now.

Fun is good.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Relish everything that’s inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.

No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. He and his are not neglected by the gods.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

My success isn’t a result of arrogance – it’s a result of belief.

I feel real good because it’s about representing the young world and how to uplift each other and how to push us to be greater and make sure we don’t fall or get trapped or get in trouble, you know what I mean. Stay focused, you know what I mean.

I think whether you’re having setbacks or not, the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.

To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man.
