Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.
