“As an organizer I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be.”

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind.

Take it easy — but take it.

If a man does his best, what else is there?

I want you to act as if your house is on fire, because it is.

To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.

Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.
