Frank Abagnale Sr, Catch Me If You Can (2002)
“Don’t ever let someone tell you, you can’t do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you that you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period. All right?”
Chris Gardner, The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
“There’s no such thing as too far. You understand? You push everything as far as you can. You push and you push and you push until it starts pushing back. And then you push some goddamn more.”
Walter Abrams, Two For The Money (2005)
“There is no such thing as a no sale call. A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can’t. Either way a sale is made, the only question is who is gonna close? You or him? Now be relentless, that’s it, I’m done.”
Jim Young, Boiler Room (2000)
“I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now…now I’m washing lettuce. Soon I’ll be on fries; then the grill. And pretty soon, I’ll make assistant manager, and that’s when the big bucks start rolling in.”
Maurice (Louie Anderson), Coming to America (1988)
“Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind.”
Gordon Gekko, Wall Street (1987)
“It’s no trick to make a lot of money, if what you want to do is make a lot of money.”
Berstein (Everett Sloane), Citizen Kane (1941)
