“It doesn`t hurt to get more education.”
“Everything in life is luck.”
“Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.”
“One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people—I categorize them as life’s losers—who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.”
“I’ve always felt that a lot of modern art is a con, and that the most successful painters are often better salesmen and promoters than they are artists.”
“Partnerships must have loyalty and integrity at their core.”
“The more government takes in taxes, the less incentive people have to work. What coal miner or assembly-line worker jumps at the offer of overtime when he knows Uncle Sam is going to take sixty percent or more of his extra pay? . . . Any system that penalizes success and accomplishment is wrong. Any system that discourages work, discourages productivity, discourages economic progress, is wrong. If, on the other hand, you reduce tax rates and allow people to spend or save more of what they earn, they’ll be more industrious; they’ll have more incentive to work hard, and money they earn will add fuel to the great economic machine that energizes our national progress. The result: more prosperity for all—and more revenue for government.”
“There’s an old German proverb to the effect that “fear makes the wolf bigger than he is,” and that is true.”
“I like to think of the word FOCUS as Follow One Course Until Successful.”
“When people are in a focused state, the words “I can’t,” “I’ll try,” “I’ll do it tomorrow,” and “maybe” get forced out of their vocabularies.”
“Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the ability to act effectively, in spite of fear.”
“The point is that if you are a little different, or a little outrageous, or if you do things that are bold or controversial, the press is going to write about you.”
“Criticism is easier to take when you realize that the only people who aren’t criticized are those who don’t take risks.”
“success comes from failure, not from memorizing the right answers.”
“My people keep telling me I shouldn’t write letters like this to critics. The way I see it, critics get to say what they want to about my work, so why shouldn’t I be able to say what I want to about theirs?”
“Focus is essential to success, and successful people are people who can focus.”
“President Reagan put it best: “Welfare’s purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence.”
“Entrepreneurs are always taking feedback, especially from their customers, bankers, workers, and sales force. Without straightforward feedback, entrepreneurs cannot make sound decisions.”
“Strong Relationships Are the Key”
“Perhaps because my father never got a college degree himself, he continued to view people who had one with a respect that bordered on awe. In most cases they didn’t deserve it. My father could run circles around most academics and he would have done very well in college, if he’d been able to go.”
“As an entrepreneur, I choose my teachers carefully, very carefully. I am extremely cautious of the people with whom I spend my time and to whom I listen.”
“It is easier to ask for money when you don’t need the money.”
“Leaders, true leaders, take responsibility for the success of the team and understand that they must also take responsibility for the failure.”
“No one can match America. We have big hearts—and the courage to do what’s right. But we’re not the world’s policemen. And if we have to take on that role, we need to send a clear message that protection comes at a price. If other countries benefit from our armed forces protecting them, those countries should cover the costs. Period.”
Nice collection
“I’ve always felt that a lot of modern art is a con, and that the most successful painters are often better salesmen and promoters than they are artists.”
LOL
To Tucker Carlson: "I get more p*ssy than you."
Such a classy guy.
Left one out:
“I will be changing very rapidly. I’m capable of changing to anything I want to change to.”
Very astute comments by Trump, aren’t they?
Couldn’t help yourself, could you.
Have to admire these quotes, can’t disagree with one of them.
Very nice selection of quotes. However, some douchebags ruined the thread, cause they can’t post anything positive.
Jealousy, pure and simple.
They are real Trump quotes, public statements, at that.
Why shouldn't they get the same airings as anything else he has said.
And, of course, there are plenty more. If you don't like it, maybe you should reevaluate your support of the vulgar little man.
Good job.
With everyone I know I have to take the good with the bad. If a man says dumb things it doesn’t make the good things less good.
” We must have universal healthcare.”
No but you might question there sincerity, especially when those quote constantly conflict with each other.
