Thomas J. Watson

To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business and your business in your heart.

Don't make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.

Really big people are, above everything else, courteous, considerate and generous - not just to some people in some circumstances - but to everyone all the time.

Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

I now know how to steal a watch when someone's wearing it. It's an excellent talent to have.
