If you continue to keep low performers on your team, that are actually dragging the team down; you’re failing the whole team, and eventually, the whole team is going to fail.

Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.

I think my vice would be outdoing myself.

I’m gonna go hard no matter what because I gotta feed my family, and I gotta feed myself.

I just figured out that if I gave my all into this game – if I put everything into the fight business – then I would eventually run the fight business.

I’ve learned over the years that when I go to that place of passion within me, there’s no force in the universe that can interfere with my completing a project.

Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.

Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.

The companies that work are the ones that people really care about and have a vision for the world so do something you like.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big.

I’m interested in what motivates individuals to participate in atrocious acts to support their ideological identification.

Everyone, no doubt, remains first and foremost a man of his own country and continues to draw from it his motive force.

Surveys show our standing around the world is higher than when I was elected to this office, and when it comes to every important international issue, people of the world do not look to Beijing or Moscow to lead – they call us.

The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.

The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

When the best leader’s work is done the people say, ‚We did it ourselves.‘

If you are first you are first. If you are second you are nothing.

For my career, I wouldn’t go racing if I didn’t enjoy it. I still need to have my say, and not just get put with a team and get told to deal with it.

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

No one has ever drowned in sweat.

If at first you don’t succeed… so much for skydiving.

I wake up in the morning and my mind starts making sentences, and I have to get rid of them fast – talk them or write them down.

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.

A president has an inescapable responsibility to provide direction: What are we trying to achieve? What are we trying to prevent? Why? To do that, he has to both analyze and reflect.

I always make my dreams into goals.

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

I can do whatever I want.

Read a record number of books in a given month. If you’re focused on intellectual growth, train yourself to study harder and longer than ever before.

One of the huge imbalances in life is the disparity between your daily existence, with its routines and habits, and the dream you have within yourself of some extraordinarily satisfying way of living.

It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.

It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.

The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was; and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands.

This ain’t fun. But you watch me, I’ll get it done.

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!

Around every corner, always protect the engine that powers you.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The trouble with Nixon is that he’s a serious politics junkie. He’s totally hooked and like any other junkie, he’s a bummer to have around, especially as President.

Those who say it can’t be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is continually fearing that you’ll make one.

It means, people who are in high and responsible positions, if they go against righteousness, righteousness itself will get transformed into a destroyer.

Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.

He who is not a good servant will not be a good master.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

The greatest story of all is Colonel Sanders. He didn’t start until he was sixty-six on a freeway bypass for his chicken shop. Anything is possible!

Bring them on.

I am results-oriented.

The difference between us and them, between you and success, is not that you never fail, but it’s how you recover from those failures – is that you keep getting up time and time again. You figure out what you did wrong, and then you make it right. I say that to my kids every day.

If you love something – and there are things that I love – you do want more and more and more of it, but that’s not the way to produce good work.

I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn’t want them either, so it worked out well.

No sooner said than done – so acts your man of worth.

I can tell you this: If I’m ever in a position to call the shots, I’m not going to rush to send somebody else’s kids into a war.

The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.

There has to be something in every role that interests you.

The best way out is always through.

It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.

To me, if life boils down to one thing, it’s movement. To live is to keep moving.
