"I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy." -- Madame Marie Curie

"The guy says, 'When you work where I work, by the time you get home, it's late. You've got to have a bite to eat, watch a little TV, relax and get to bed. You can't sit up half the night planning, planning, planning.' And he's the same guy who is behind on his car payment!" -- Jim Rohn

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing."  -- Abraham Lincoln

"People do not lack strength; they lack will." -- Victor Hugo

"I know the price of success: dedication, hard work and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen." -- Frank Lloyd Wright

"There is no chance, no destiny, no fate that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul." -- Ella Wheeler Wilcox

"He who is firm in will molds the world to himself." -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"You must either modify your dreams or magnify your skills." Jim Rohn

"Lack of clarity is the number-one time-waster. Always be asking, 'What am I trying to do? How am I trying to do it." -- Brian Tracy

"Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions." -- Harold S. Geneen

"No man is capable of self-improvement if he sees no other model but himself." -- Conrado I. Generoso

"I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change."  Jim Rohn

"If everything seems under control, you are not going fast enough." -- Mario Andretti

"Telling others is the key to changing your wishes into dreams." -- Chris Widener

"Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep." -- Denis Waitley

Gilberto - Don't you love Jim Rohn? Some people think he is so 80's, however I find him ageless.

Beth - I like that quote too...so true.

Jeff - There's a lot of wisdom in his statement!

I think these quotes hold vast secrets to being "successful" in life.  Truth is truth.

Tony -

Love the quotes.  Perfect timing too.  I'll add some of them to my rotating quote machine (see my javascript post).

Mario is my fav as well.

My favorite racing quote sounds a little like this...

"I had everything under control as I was going into the turn, until I ran out of talent."
