While I was doing stand-up I thought I knew for sure that success meant getting everyone to like me. So I became whoever I thought people wanted me to be. I'd say yes when I wanted to say no and I even wore a few dresses.

What I have in common with the character in 'Truman' is this incredible need to please people. I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

Not every difficult and dangerous thing is suitable for training but only that which is conducive to success in achieving the object of our effort.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

If you wish to be a success in the world promise everything deliver nothing.

Every success story has a parent who says 'over my dead body.' Every success story has an old person who walks up to you and says when you're acting the fool 'you know I worry about you sometimes.'

Before everything else getting ready is the secret of success.

Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win - essential to success.

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day.
