Preparation, I have often said, is rightly two-thirds of any venture.

I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand.

Old age is no place for sissies.

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively.

There are few things more pathetic than those who have lost their curiosity and sense of adventure, and who no longer care to learn.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting and achieving goals.

There is nothing in the world that empowers a human being to overcome external difficulties or internal hardships so much as the awareness that one has a task in life.

Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike at him as hard as you can and as often as you can, and keep moving on.

Plans will get you into things, but you have got to work your way out.

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

What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.
