1.failure is a word i don't accept.

2.Long shots do come in and hard work, dedication and perseverance will overcome almost any prejudice and open almost any door.

3.I would tell young people to start where they are with what they have and that the secret of a big success is starting with a small success and dreaming bigger and bigger and bigger dreams.

4.Dreams small dreams.If you make them too big, you get overwhelmed and you don't do anything. If you make small goals and accomplish them, it gives you the confidence to go on to higher goals.

5.Every day I run scared . That's the only way I can stay ahead.

6.When I go in to see people - and I sell an occasional ad now - I never say, ' Help me because i am black' or help me because I am a minority'. i always talk about what we can do for them.

7.You spend so much time in your profession it ought to be something you love.

8.when I see a barrier , I cry and I curse, and then i get a ladder and climb over it.

9.The word I wanted to hear, then and now , was success.The energy I sought , then and now , was the energy that comes from focusing all your powers, like a beam . on a single point.

10.my management style is based in the art of communication. For communication. For communication is an art, not a science. It is an emotion, not a statistic, and the best communicators know instinctively that to communicate effectively you must bypass intellectual centers and tap into the deepest fears, hopes and emotions of your audience.

11.I'm convinced that the only way to get ahead in this world is to live and sell dangerously. You have got to live beyond your means. you have got to commit yourself to an act or vision that pulls you further than you want to go and forces you to use your hidden strengths.
