Stephen R Covey The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1989)

"It's incredibly easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the busy-ness of life, to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it's leaning against the wrong wall. It is
possible to be busy—very busy—without being very effective."
"In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. We all know it. There are people we trust absolutely because we know their character. Whether they're eloquent or not, whether they have the human relations techniques or not, we trust them, and we work successfully with them."

The first step on the road to success is good character. The second isopenness to new perspectives. The third is ensuring that daily action
is shaped by higher aims, with the knowledge that you always reap what you sow.

Michael Dell Direct From Dell (1999)

"Here was a device that so profoundly changed the way people worked—and its cost was coming down. I knew that if you took this tool, previously in the hands of a select few, and made it available to every big business, small business, individual, and student, it could become the most important device of this century."

"Believe in what you are doing. If you've got an idea that's really powerful, you've just got to ignore the people who tell you it won't work, and hire people who embrace your vision."

Henry Ford My Life and Work (1922)

"From the beginning I could never work up much interest in the labor of farming. I wanted to have something to do with machinery. My father was not entirely in sympathy with my bent toward mechanics.

He thought I ought to be a farmer. When I left school at seventeen and became an apprentice in the machine shop of the Drydock Engine Works I was all but given up for lost."

"Good will is one of the few really important assets of life. A determined man can win almost anything that he goes after, but unless, in his getting, he gains good will he has not profited much."

Benjamin Franklin The Way To Wealth (1758)

"Many a one, for the sake of finery on the back, have gone with a hungry belly, and half starved their families; silks and satins, scarlet and velvets, as Poor Richard says, put out the kitchen fire. These are not the necessaries of life; they can scarcely be called the conveniences, and yet only because they look pretty, how many want to have them. The
artificial wants of mankind thus become more numerous than the natural."

"You may think perhaps that a little tea, or a little punch now and then, diet a little more costly, clothes a little finer, and a little entertainment now and then, can be no great Matter; but remember what Poor Richard says... beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship... and moreover, fools make Feasts, and wise men eat them."

Diligence and frugality build character as they create wealth.

Timothy Gallwey The Inner Game of Tennis (1974)

"The player of the inner game comes to value the art of relaxed concentration above all other skills; he discovers a true basis for self-confidence; and he learns that the secret to winning any game lies in
not trying too hard. He aims at the kind of spontaneous performance which occurs only when the mind is calm and seems at one with the body, which finds its own surprising ways to surpass its own limits again and again."

Your body is smarter than you think: trust it to achieve the goals you have set.

The Eleanor Roosevelt Way Robin Gerber Leadership  (2003)

It is true that I am fundamentally an optimist, that I am congenitally hopeful. I do not believe that good always conquers evil, because I have lived a long time in the world and seen that it is not true... It is
not wishful thinking that makes me a hopeful woman. Over and over, I have seen, under the most improbable circumstances, that man can
remake himself, that he can even remake his world if he cares enough to try."

John Paul Getty How To Be Rich (1961)

"After all, 'richness' is at least as much a matter of character, of philosophy, outlook and attitude, as it is of money. The 'millionaire mentality' is not—and in this day and age, cannot be—merely an accumulative mentality. The able, ambitious man who strives for success must understand that the term 'rich' has infinite shades of meaning. In order to justify himself and his wealth, he must know how
to be rich in virtually every positive sense of the term."

"To be truly rich, regardless of his fortune or lack of it, a man must live by his own values. If those values are not personally meaningful, then no amount of money gained can hide the emptiness of life without
them."

Les Giblin How to Have Power and Confidence In Dealing With People (1956)

"Various scientific studies have proven that if you learn how to deal with other people, you will have gone about 85 percent of the way down the road to success in any business, occupation, or profession,
and about 99 percent of the way down the road to personal happiness."

"Human relations is the science of dealing with people in such a way that our egos and their egos remain intact. And this is the only method of getting along with people that ever brings any real success or any real satisfaction."

Baltasar Gracian The Art of Worldly Wisdom (1647)

 

Good fortune has its rules, and to the wise not everything depends upon chance... the real philosopher has only one plan of action: virtue and prudence; for the only good and bad fortune lie in prudence or rashness."

"

65 Elevated taste... You can judge the height of someone's talent by what he aspires to.

Only a great thing can satisfy a great talent."

Earl G Graves How To Succeed in Business Without Being White (1997)

"Money makes people listen. When you have it, then you have something others want and need. When you don't you become invisible. Your needs become irrelevant. Your success, or lack of it, is your problem. How can we build wealth when we have so many obstacles to opportunity? If you pay attention to the challenges we've talked about, it will be difficult to deny you opportunity. If you read and follow the advice in this book, you will make your own opportunities in spite of the nuisances, hatred, and ignorance you encounter."

Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich (1937)

"We live in a world of over-abundance and everything the heart could desire, with nothing standing between us and our desires, excepting
lack of a definite purpose."

"I had the happy privilege of analyzing both Mr. Edison and Mr. Ford, year by year, over a long period of years, and therefore, the opportunity
to study them at close range, so I speak from actual knowledge when I say that I found no quality save persistence, in either of them, that even remotely suggested the major source of their stupendous achievements."

Muriel James & Dorothy Jongeward Born To Win (1971)

It takes courage to be a real winner—not a winner in the sense of beating out someone else by always insisting on coming out on top— but a winner at responding to life. It takes courage to experience the
freedom that comes with autonomy, courage to accept intimacy and directly encounter other persons, courage to take a stand in an unpopular cause, courage to choose authenticity over approval and to choose it again and again, courage to accept the responsibility for your own choices, and, indeed, courage to be the unique person you really are."

27. Spencer Johnson Who Moved My Cheese? (1998)

"He knew he had learned something useful about moving on from his mice friends, Sniff and Scurry. They kept life simple. They didn't overanalyze or overcomplicate things. When the situation changed and the cheese had been moved, they changed and moved with the cheese.

He would remember that." "He realized that the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own
folly."

Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad, Poor Dad (1997 )

"Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their lives.
Both earned substantial incomes. Yet one struggled financially all his life. The other would become one of the richest men in Hawaii. One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities and his
church. The other left bills to be paid."
"Rule one. You must know the difference between an asset and a
liability, and buy assets. If you want to be rich, this is all you need to know."

David Landes The Wealth and Poverty of Nations (1998)

"Round, complete, apparently serene, ineffably harmonious, the Celestial Empire purred along for hundreds of years more, impervious and imperturbable. But the world was passing it by."
"America's society of smallholders and relatively well-paid workers was a seedbed of democracy and enterprise. Equality bred self-esteem, ambition, a readiness to enter and compete in the marketplace, a spirit of individualism and contentiousness."
"If we learn anything from the history of economic development, it is that culture makes all the difference... Yet culture, in the sense of inner values and attitudes that guide a population, frightens scholars."
