“If you have to separate yourself from things, or someone else, do it without a big attitude.”

“When you work for someone else, it's called an "attitude problem"; when you work for yourself, it's called integrity.”

“Do not attempt to do a thing unless you are sure of yourself; but do not relinquish it simply because someone else is not sure of you.”

“Then it occurred to me: You either waited for someone else to do the right thing, or you stood up and did it yourself.”

“Some people say I have attitude--maybe I do...But I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does--that makes you a winner right there.”

“Throw away my book: you must understand that it represents only one of a thousand attitudes. You must find your own. If someone else could have done something as well as you, don’t do it. If someone else could have said something as well as you, don’t say it—or written something as well as you, don’t write it. Grow fond only of that which you can find nowhere but in yourself, and create out of yourself, impatiently or patiently, ah! that most irreplaceable of beings.”
