The minute you get away from fundamentals—whether its proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation—the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you're doing.

The five steps in teaching an employee new skills are preparation, explanation, showing, observation and supervision.

We signal that good can be achieved amongst human beings who are prepared to trust, prepared to believe in the goodness of people.

You better live your best and act your best and think your best today, for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow.

Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.

Statism needs war; a free country does not. Statism survives by looting; a free country survives by producing.

The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply.

When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, butt in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and they will come forth later in uglier ways.
