There is no royal flower-strewn path to success. And if there is, I have not found it, for if I have accomplished anything in life, it is because I have been willing to work hard.

More from Madam C. J. Walker & related wisdom
Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.
What we in industry learned in dealing with people is that people do not work just for money and that if you are trying to motivate, money is not the most effective tool.
Entrepreneurs are artists and I mean “artists” in the true sense of the word: they see something no one else does.
In the morning sow thy seed, And in the evening withhold not thy hand; For thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, Or whether they both shall be alike good.
