“Fear is faith that it won’t work.”

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.

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.

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

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.

Faith is like lighting the torch that passes from one person to the next. You can’t light the torch of another if yours isn’t burning.

I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.

I have come not to disturb or destroy any faith, but to confirm each in his own faith – so that the Christian becomes a better Christian, the Muslim, a better Muslim, and the Hindu, a better Hindu.

Take away hatred from some people, and you have men without faith.

Once we surrender our mind to God completely, He will take care of us in every way.

I have no great faith in political arithmetic, and I mean not to warrant the exactness of either of these computations.

I’ll never get tired of asking god to guide me.

I cannot recite Hanuman chalisa at home and wear a skull cap outside just to attract votes. It is my responsibility that, without losing my identity, I must ensure a peaceful environment for people of all faiths so that they can follow their beliefs.
