“People change and even products change. But over the course of time it’s the strength of a company’s philosophy that will determine whether or not it endures.”

Dare to risk public criticism.

Even the smallest achievements pave a way to great success.

Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it’s too late.

In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.

I believe that you should praise people whenever you can; it causes them to respond as a thirsty plant responds to water.

An average person with average talents and average ambition can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society; if that person has clear focused goals.

Those who are blessed with the most talent don’t necessarily outperform everyone else. It’s the people with follow-through who excel.

People fall forward to success.

Fear is faith that it won’t work.

I believe that work if often the best antidote for grief.

There is a way; Up, Around, Over or Through.

Leaders teach. They motivate. They care. Leaders make sure that the way to success is always broad enough and straight enough for others to follow.

Never give up, because you never know if the next try is going to be the one that works.

The seeds you plant in the hearts and minds of others will be what you receive in return – 100-fold. Only sow that which you wish to receive in return. Sow good, receive good! Plant seeds daily in your Mary Kay business and your Mary Kay business will return to you.

My definition of happiness is having something to do what you love to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to.

There are two things people want more than sex and money, recognition and praise.

It is only through a wholesome discontent with things as they are, that we ever try to make them any better.

Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.

We’re not the same people we were then. We’ve changed, we’ve grown.

Change is not popular; we are creatures of habit as human beings. ‘I want it to be the way it was.’ But if you continue the way it was there will be no ‘is.’

We do not need to be afraid, because God will change our hearts and give us the blessing reserved for those who allow Him to change them.

The most important thing is to read as much as you can, like I did. It will give you an understanding of what makes good writing and it will enlarge your vocabulary.

Worship is an act of love that changes our lives.

Passion is the bridge that takes you from pain to change.
