The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

A person with a clear purpose will make progress on even the toughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress on even the smoothest road.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.

There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.

Bad will be the day for every man when he becomes absolutely contented with the life he is living, when there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul ...

We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or in anything else, a single overriding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective.

One ship drives East and another West, with the selfsame winds that blow. 'Tis the set of sails, and not the gales, which tells us the way to go.

It's choice, not chance, that determines your destiny.

Never mistake motion for action.

The beginning is the most important part of any work.

It's not so much how busy you are, but why are you busy? The bee is praised, the mosquito is swatted.

Every time I step into an airplane is an exciting time for me. I obtain focus and a sense of purpose and mission, and I am very, very happy.

Make the quality of your life visual, not verbal. We have put our love where we have put our labor.
