No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
From Andrew Carnegie
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.
There is little success where there is little laughter.
Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.
Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.
You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best.
The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
