In business, success often depends upon the relative age of your ideas.
Robert KiyosakiMy understanding of racial discrimination as a child was highly distorted because the most prominent man in Archery was an African-American bishop. When he came home from up north, where he was in charge of A.M.E. churches in five states, it was front-page news. He was the most successful man in my life.
Jimmy CarterI don’t think I’ve met anyone with a stronger work ethic than Ray Charles.
Clint EastwoodI’ve taken advantage of a few breaks that came along and moved along with them.
Clint EastwoodA #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere.

Gilbert K. ChestertonThe most successful politician is he who says what the people are thinking most often in the loudest voice.
Theodore RooseveltThe battle for the individual rights of women is one of long standing and none of us should countenance anything which undermines it.
Eleanor RooseveltI could give a flying flip about doing promo because, no disrespect, nobody put me in the position that I’m in.
Kevin GatesWe don’t want to promote any system that treats the fact that an individual is LGBT as a personality disorder. And anything that perpetuates that perception is harmful – not only to that member of the community but the entire community.
Kamala HarrisMost businesses think that product is the most important thing, but without great leadership, mission and a team that deliver results at a high level, even the best product won’t make a company successful.
Robert KiyosakiIt’s hard to be clear about who you are when you are carrying around a bunch of baggage from the past. I’ve learned to let go and move more quickly into the next place.
Angelina JolieThe world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
Elbert HubbardI’m always asked, ‚What’s the secret to success?‘ But there are no secrets. Be humble. Be hungry. And always be the hardest worker in the room.
Dwayne JohnsonAbove anything else, I hate to lose.

Elbert HubbardIt is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.

John F. KennedyMany interviewers when they come to talk to me, think they’re being progressive by not mentioning in their stories any longer that I’m black. I tell them, ‚Don’t stop now. If I shot somebody you’d mention it.‘
Colin PowellI have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.
Ayrton SennaWhen I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful.

BonoI remember talking with Arcade Fire after their first record, when they were getting all kinds of offers from major labels, and I don’t think I gave them any advice. They survived that whole onslaught pretty well anyway without me.

Ruth Bader GinsburgIf what you have done is unjust, you have not succeeded.
Thomas CarlyleMy unpredictability is what separates me. If you move in so many ways, your opponent is not focused on what he’s doing. He’s focusing in on what you’re doing, and it freezes him. When they freeze and you hit, they shatter like glass.
Conor McGregorThe opportunities of America opened out to me the public schools. They carried me to the professional training of an American university. I began by working with my own hands for my daily bread.
Herbert HooverThe supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
Dwight D. EisenhowerIf you have a success you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.

Walt DisneyThere is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.
Douglas MacArthurAs far as a glass ceiling, I feel that all you can do is give it your absolute best with whatever gifts the universe has given you. And if you make it in some way that other people can recognize, that’s fine. But even if you don’t quote-unquote make it, you’re fine if you’ve given it your whole heart and soul.
Alice WalkerFailures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.
C. S. LewisAmerica is the land of the second chance – and when the gates of the prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life.
George W. BushThe average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
Andrew CarnegieSome slaves are scoured to their work by whips, others by their restlessness and ambition.
John RuskinNo one remembers who climbed Mount Everest the second time.

Samuel JohnsonEvery strike brings me closer to the next home run.
Babe RuthI don’t even call them fans. I don’t like that. They’re literally just a part of my life; they’re a part of my family. I don’t think of them as on a lower level than me. I don’t think I’m anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they’re basically all of my siblings.
Billie EilishTo the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheRacism and sexism, misogyny and homophobia, they’re so visible. They’re out in the open. When they’re visible, it’s a lot easier to deal with them.
Dolores HuertaAction may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Benjamin DisraeliWhatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Applause waits on success.
Benjamin FranklinThe beginning of reform is not so much to equalize property as to train the noble sort of natures not to desire more, and to prevent the lower from getting more.
AristotleIt has so happened in all ages of the world that some have labored, and others have, without labor, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits.
Abraham LincolnShow me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I’ll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
Lou HoltzMy success comes in making fun of whatever you’re doing. That’s my way.
Kevin HartShe never envisioned a legal career for me, but she did think it was very important that I be able to support myself, and I think she would be pleased to see what has become of me.
Ruth Bader GinsburgPartnering with Atlantic Records creates the opportunity to take what we’re doing to the next level, without compromising.
Nipsey HussleFor a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
Richard P. FeynmanAll I ever wanted to do with my life was own a little house. I did that way back with ‚Rocky,‘ so now everything I do is just icing on the cake.
Mr. T
