Successful people work hard on the right things b/c working hard on the wrong things only makes one worn out while failing.
The ability to focus is the key separation point between those who move ahead and those who fall behind.
Licking your wounds will not stop the bleeding, but applying pressure will.

Free society's organize around the invisible hand while Force society's organize around the State's visible fist.
Liberty was paid for by past sacrifices and given to us as a present gift.

You can either hold onto your dream by letting go of your excuses or hold onto your excuses by letting go of your dream.
Few lack talent, but most people lack the vision & perseverance to develop their talents.
Leaders respond & change, the rest quit and blame.
Do you have the talent?' is rarely the question. 'Do you have the guts to finish?' is the real question.
It's not about what you're capable of, it's about what you are willing to endure.
Those who serve deserve.
Success is 3Ms: Your vision produces the Map, your actions produce the Motion, your persistence produces Monetary rewards.

Until you accept responsibility for your life, someone else runs your life.
Excellence results from the accumulation of proper choices compounded over time.
Ideas have enormous consequences in a person's life because you ultimately become what you believe.
Winners hate losing more than changing while others hate changing more than losing.
A passive mindset manages to live with mediocre, but an active mindset leads to change until excellence results.
Victims blame, managers maintain, and leaders change.
Managers maintain the present while leaders create the future.
It's absurd to be upset by a lack of results when the cause is a lack of activity.
Break your bad labels instead of living in them.
Dollar bill: people spend their whole life seeking to earn it, but won't spend 10 minutes seeking to learn it.

Self-denial in the pursuit of purpose generates true pleasure while self-indulgence in the pursuit of pleasure generates true misery.
Most people overestimate others' talents and underestimate their own.
If you aren't loyal to the few you won't be blessed with the many.
Never confuse truth and the latest public opinion poll.
Truth is an acquired taste.
God is not against you owning things, but he is against the things owning you.
Leaders know that the fruit of life is out on a limb.
Winners aren't those who lose the least, but rather those who learn the most from their losses on their way to victory.
Winners never suffer defeat, but rather just many setbacks on their way to victory.
Success is not as easy as winners make it look nor as hard as losers make it sound.
