The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me.

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.

Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.

If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.

Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
