  27. Greg Balanko-Dickson says:

  32. I think this is the best one of your lists

    My favourite is “to win without risk is to triumph without glory” its just so true to entrepreneurs

  33. My fave one is from Harry Potter…spoken by Dumbeldore…

    There are really good quotes you have there. I like the Napoleon Hill’s, his one of my favorites.

  37. Nick Tart says:

    “Find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” -Confucius

    The same can be said for creating a job you love.

  38. One of my favourites is by Theodore Roosevelt called “The man in the arena”

    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

  39. “What We Think, We Become” (Buddha)

  40. Nothing is easy, But who want’s nothing.
