I was trained from the beginning to work, to save, and to give.

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

I never would have been able to tithe the first million dollars I ever made if I had not tithed my first salary, which was $1.50 per week.

Success comes from keeping the ears open and the mouth closed

I was early taught to work as well as play. My life has been one long, happy holiday; Full of work and full of play- I dropped the worry on the way- And God was good to me everyday.

I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.

I would rather hire a man with enthusiasm, than a man who knows everything.

Every right implies a responsibility; Every opportunity, an obligation, Every possession, a duty.

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.

Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one's aim.

The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well.

It is always thus, impelled by a state of mind which is destined not to last, we make our irrevocable decisions

Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food to the body.

Jazz music is a language of the emotions.

Dreams have the power to make real what the heart desires.

We exaggerate the glory of some men in order to detract from that of others.

Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.

In the past when I was in Hollywood, I was like a dog. I felt humiliated. My English was not good. People would even ask me 'Jackie Who?'.

I practice self-control and staying active. Running round the kitchen keeps me moving.

Success does not come from having one's work recognized by others. It is the fruit of the seed that you lovingly planted.

He's as weird as snake's suspenders but sweet as a stolen kiss, too.
