I never sought success in order to get fame and money; it’s the talent and the passion that count in success.

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money to do more for the betterment of life.

In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is. waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.

A business absolutely devoted to service will have one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.

It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.

An irresistible passion that would induce me to believe in innate ideas and the truth of prophecy has decided my career. I have always loved liberty with the enthusiasm which actuates the religious man with the passion of a lover and with the conviction of a geometrician.

Pleasure without joy is as hollow as passion without tenderness.

And, more importantly, reach for the stars. And realize that it is never too late—not now, not ever—for you to pursue you passion, your pursuit of perfection. And most importantly, your perseverance for making it happen.

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.

Do not hire a man who does your work for money but him who does it for love of it.

To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable.

You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.

Before a man can accomplish anything of an enduring nature in the world, he must first of all acquire some measure of success in the management of his own mind.

We ought not to let either our joy at their faults or our grief at their success be idle, but in either case we ought to reflect, how we may become better than them by avoiding their errors, and by imitating their virtues not come short of them.

Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.

The planet does not need more “successful people.” The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds.
