Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.

Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown.

Diligence is the mother of good fortune.

I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it.

If you want to achieve things in life, you've just got to do them, and if you're talented and smart, you'll succeed.
