I’m grateful for the opportunity to live on this beautiful and astonishing planet Earth. In the morning, I wake up with a sense of gratitude.

To give oneself is the only way of becoming oneself.

If the average person realized the power he wields over his life and destiny, he would live in a perpetual state of wonder and thanksgiving.

It is in the expectations of happiness that much of happiness is found. And it takes courage to expect happiness.

You are, at this moment, standing right in the middle of your own acres of diamonds.

All you have to do is know where you’re going. The answers will come to you of their own accord.

The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers.

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.

What happens inside always appears outside.

We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.

A person who does not read is no better than one cannot read.

Perseverance is another word for faith.

You are now, and you do become, what you think about.

People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be – whether they will admit that or not.f

The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice… it is conformity.

We become what we think about most of the time, and that’s the strangest secret.

Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.

Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.

A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You can’t go anywhere till you change it.

There is no success without suffering. I think that the word ‘suffering’ was meant to mean tremendous effort and direction.

No man can get rich himself unless he enriches others.

You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.

People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.

Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you’ve reached your goal.

Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.

You’ll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea.

Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.

Everything begins with an idea

Problems are challenges to creative minds. Without problems, there would be little reason to think at all.

We must be the epitome, the embodiment of success. We must radiate success before it will come to us.

The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.

There is a time when one must decide either to risk everything to fulfill one’s dreams or sit for the rest of one’s life in the backyard.

The key that unlocks energy is ‘Desire’. It’s also the key to a long and interesting life. If we expect to create any drive, any real force within ourselves, we have to get excited.

We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.et circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.

Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; wherever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable.

Work never killed anyone. It’s worry that does the damage. And the worry would disappear if we’d just settle down and do the work.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

Success is not the result of making money; making money is the result of success – and success is in direct proportion to our service.

The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.

We are all self-made, but only the successful will admit it.

Our attitude towards life determines life’s attitude towards us.

Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people.

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become reality.

We will not receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.

Whenever we’re afraid, it’s because we don’t know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.

When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself.

Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.
