“God chooses what we go through; we choose how we go through it.”

Pay now, play later; play now, pay later.

The first person you lead is you.

Attitude is the first quality that marks the successful man. If he has a positive attitude and is a positive thinker, who likes challenges and difficult situations, then he has half his success achieved.

Every worthwhile accomplishment has a price tag attached to it. The question is always whether you are willing to pay the price to attain it – in hard work, sacrifice, patience, faith, and endurance.

To succeed in life, we must stay within our strength zone but continually move outside our comfort zone.

Giving is the highest level of living.

If you don’t have peace, it isn’t because someone took it from you; you gave it away. You cannot always control what happens to you, but you can control what happens in you.

The difference between where we are and where we want to be is created by the changes we are willing to make in our lives. When you want something you’ve never had, you must do something you’ve never done to get it.

When the leader lacks confidence, the followers lack commitment.

The person who insists on using yesterday’s methods in today’s world won’t be in business tomorrow.

Your success stops where your character stops. You can never rise above the limitations of your character.

One of the major keys to success is to keep moving forward on the journey, making the best of the detours and interruptions, turning adversity into advantage.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

God doesn’t move until we move first.

You don’t overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.

Discipline – Success doesn’t just happen. You have to be intentional about it, and that takes discipline.

If you’re able to help some people and make them smile and make them realize that life is good, then that’s worth so much more than buying a pair of shoes.

I am not a full-time politician but a ‘sanyasi’ who took the path of politics to serve the masses.

It is best to live with honor for just a day than with dishonor for many decades; better a short lived celestial swan than a century-lived crow.

Privatization is presented as being the only alternative to an inefficient, corrupt state. In fact, it is not a choice at all… it is a mutually profitable business contract between the private company (preferably foreign) and the ruling elite of the Third World.

Get your priorities straight. No one ever said on his death bed, ‘Gee, if I’d only spent more time at the office.’

When I choose the scripts, all I look forward to is an impressive narration.

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece – by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

Vegetarian food is actually good for the body.
