Michael Bloomberg Quotes

If you’re going to do anything great in life, there will be opposition, setbacks, delays and critics. When you have big dreams, you’re going to have big challenges.

Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.

We all get our dreams stamped on from time to time, right? And if it didn’t hurt, what kind of second-rate dreams would they be?

The bigger your obstacle, the bigger your future. Don't get discouraged, keep moving forward.

Never give up on your dreams.

Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light...

Just because fate had thrown another obstacle in my way didn't mean I had to give up my dreams.

I'm gonna fight, and I'm gonna make something out of nothing. That's pretty much the American dream. So, for me, the realization that I could speak to people like that came first on a small scale. Then it just started happening. I started having this vibration.

You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little because sometimes that seems far beyond your reach. Then I think you have to develop a kind of resistance to rejection, and to the disappointments that are sure to come your way.

The truth is we all get tired, we all get weary. In fact, if you never feel like giving up, then your dreams are too small. If you never feel like quitting, then you need to set some larger goals. When that pressure comes to get discouraged and to think about how you can’t take it anymore, that is completely normal. Every person feels that way at times.

Keep trying. It's only from the valley that the mountain seems high.

Failure is a man's inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be

There are tough times and mountains to climb, but you've got to go for it.

A friend told me 'I guess you gotta go through a lot of nightmares, before you finally, you know, accomplish your dreams.

If you haven't felt like quitting, your dreams aren't big enough!

I've always seen 'no' as a challenge rather than an answer.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

To the stars through thorns.

I would say that when you have a big dream or you're trying to solve a big problem, there will always be people who tell you that you can't. Here's my advice: don't listen.

A successful man cannot realize how hard an unsuccessful man finds life.

If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.

It can take years to mold a dream. It takes only a fraction of a second for it to be shattered.

If it's not hard, you're not dreaming big enough!

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.

Having a dream is what keeps you alive. Overcoming the challenges makes life worth living.
