“Don’t go to work to work, go to work to prosper.”

Criticism precedes admiration and – like it or not – goes hand in hand with success. Keep pouring on the success, and sooner or later, the very same people who were putting you down will be admiring you for what you have done.

Almost every problem people face in their careers and other aspects of their lives – such as failed diets, marriages, and financial problems – are all the result of not taking enough action.

There are certain things in life that have limits, but you don’t unless you impose limits on yourself.

Average is a failing plan! Average doesn’t work in any area of life. Anything that you give only average amounts of attention to will start to subside and will eventually cease to exist.

Never lower your target ; increase your actions.

Have goals so big your problems pale in comparison.

You know, you don’t need to grow old to die. I was dying at the age of 20 as a result of no direction and no purpose.

Never reduce a target. Instead, increase actions!

You can’t get anywhere flying under the radar.

No economy, no matter how bad, can hold down a goal that is followed by enough action.

Just Remember: The people that say, “your dreams are impossible ” have already quit on theirs.

Success is the difference between where you are and where you could be.

You can’t hate and ball at the same time

You can’t reach your potential without haters.

Make time, not excuses.

The economy is not the problem, how people respond is the problem!

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

I don’t know about changing my perspective, because motherhood is such a glorious blessing and I am very thankful for that. It is such a beautiful experience. I so strongly recommend it. It’s bliss, love, and fulfillment of another level.

You’re so heavenly minded, you’re no earthly good.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.

I reflected a lot, I thought a lot on my 50th birthday. It has been one of the most important birthdays in my life, not in terms of celebration but in terms of retrospect.

Crisis is the path to happiness. Decay and disintegration do not spell doom, but ascent and beginning. The powerful forces of a new creation operate in the hush beyond the noise of the day.

The cinema has no boundary; it is a ribbon of dream.
