“Real leaders aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.”

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.

Think about it, no one can win a race in which he had given up. You can’t win a battle for which you have surrendered.

A strong beginning is a good thing only when coupled with a strong finish.

You cannot keep determined people from success. If you place stumbling blocks in their way, they will use them for stepping stones and climb to new heights.

I’ve never yet met a person who didn’t want to be appreciated.

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.

The speed of the leader is the speed of the gang.

Every person should have a lifetime self-improvement program.

God didn’t have time to create a nobody, just a somebody. I believe that each of us has God given talents within us waiting to be brought to fruition. Each person is unique and special.

Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

Every achievement, big or small, begins in your mind.

Never rest on your laurels. Nothing wilts faster than a laurel sat upon.

You can have anything in this world you want, if you want it badly enough and you’re willing to pay the price.

Live on the edge. I’m only free because I’m not afraid. Everything I was afraid of already happened to me.

Don’t be afraid of who sits in the White House. God can triumph over Trump.

Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will one day be the majority.

I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.

Why are sex and violence always linked? I’m afraid they’ll blur together in people’s minds – sexandviolence – until we can’t tell them apart. I expect to hear a newscaster say, “The mob became unruly and the police were forced to resort to sex.”

Noble hearts are neither jealous nor afraid because jealousy spells doubt and fear spells pettiness.

Not unafraid, but moving a tiny bravery is a large one always always always this.
