As a matter of personal philosophy, I have generally said, 'Why not?' far more often than either 'Why?' or 'Not.'

Because, I figured that, because I was a successful man, I was wealthy, I was, you know, seemingly intelligent - even that I am not intelligent enough to ask for help.

The common question that gets asked in business is, 'why?' That's a good question, but an equally valid question is, 'why not?'

I never think I am successful. If I am successful, then I should be retired.

I have not been a success, and probably never will be.

I don't dwell on success. Maybe that's one reason I'm successful.

Will I be a success? I don't know.

All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?

I do not think I am successful just because I have money. I'm successful because I love who I am and I have no regrets, and I'm successful because I have a great heart and I have compassion and I care and I would be happy with or without money.
