Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

The day will come when the man at the telephone will be able to see the distant person to whom he is speaking.

Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.

The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.

The achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.

Don't keep forever on the public road, going only where others have gone and following one after the other like a flock of sheep. Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods.

Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.

Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.

You cannot force ideas. Successful ideas are the result of slow growth. Ideas do not reach perfection in a day, no matter how much study is put upon them.

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.

Never let the thoughts of self-unworthiness re-arrange your prepared passion for failure. You can do it even if others say you can't. But you cannot do it if you tell yourself you can't.

Cheap, fast and reliable, the definition of vehicle gold.

Just think, the shoes I wouldn’t be caught dead in might actually turn out to be the shoes I am caught dead in.

The sea of pleasures may drown its owner and the swimmer fears to open his eyes under the water.

You gotta have the balls to go out there and be funny, man.

So it is the fear, weakness, selfishness, and cowardice of onlookers that permit evil behavior to persist.

Stories are relics, part of an undiscovered pre-existing world.
