More quotes by James Altucher

I made so many mistakes in my first successful business I'm almost embarrassed to recount them.
James Altucher
Most people are not good people. In business, in art, in almost every 'world' I've been in, most people I've meet are pretty gray to black. It takes practice to be the person who is a source of compassion and honesty.
James Altucher
It's very important to enjoy what you're doing or else you are always going to procrastinate.
James Altucher
Don't time travel into the past, roaming through the nuances as if they can change. Don't bookmark pages you've already read.
James Altucher

If you act like the river, you ultimately flow past all the rocks along the way.
James Altucher
Being grateful is the bridge between the world of nightmares and the world where we are free to say no. It's the bridge between the world of delusions and the world of creativity. It's the power that brings death back to life, the power that turns poverty to wealth and anger to compassion.
