"When asked to give a speech never..." - Quote by Jim Rohn

“Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.”

“Never begrudge the money you spend on your own education.”

“Don't just get through the day, get FROM the day”

“There comes a day of public ceremonial, and a chance to make a speech.... A million voters with IQs below 60 have their ears glued to the radio. It takes four days' hard work to concoct a speech without a sensible word in it. Next a dam must be opened somewhere. Four dry Senators get drunk and make a painful scene. The Presidential automobile runs over a dog. It rains.”

“I think I'm able to reach a lot of folks, despite the fact that the conventional news media sometimes says, "You know, this speech is too long," or "It's too complicated," or "He needs to have better sound bites," or what have you.”

“Since I am used to speaking in public, I know that it is useless.”

“Children use the fist until they are of age to use the brain.”

“Courage, I don't think anybody is born with courage. I think you may be born with a flair to braggadocio, you know. That's not courage.”

“The force of character is cumulative.”
