“You must acquire the habits and skills of managing a small amount of money before you can have a large amount.”

One of the principles we teach in our programs is “If you shoot for the stars, you’ll at least hit the moon.” Poor people don’t even shoot for the ceiling in their house, and then they wonder why they’re not successful.

I observe my thoughts and entertain only those that empower me.

Helping people grow and achieve their dreams is the fastest route to success.

The truth is few people “think” big and even fewer “play” big. Why? Because “big” often means big responsibilitie s, big hassles and big problems. They look at that “bigness” and shrink. They’re smaller than their problems.

Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know.

The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, you’ll only achieve small things.

If you have a big problem in your life, all that means is that you are being a small person!

Focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want.

I think big! I choose to help thousands and thousands of people!

No thought lives in your head rent-free.

Whatever results you’re getting, be they rich or poor, good or bad, positive or negative, always remember that your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world. If things aren’t going well in your outer life, it’s because things aren’t going well in your inner life. It’s that simple.

You don’t have to believe that voice in your head. You don’t have to believe your own thinking. You can simply observe it and say, “Thank you for sharing,” and then take the necessary action you’re scared to take anyway.

The third level of wanting is “I commit to being rich.” The definition of the word commit is to “devote oneself unreservedly.” This means holding absolutely nothing back; giving 100 percent of everything you’ve got to achieving wealth.

One step in the right direction is better than a hundred years of thinking about it.

Your field of focus determines what you find in life.

Today’s Declaration: I focus on what I want, not on what i don’t want.

An investor who proposes to ignore near-term market fluctuations needs greater resources for safety and must not operate on so large a scale, if at all, with borrowed money.

My own belief is that there is hardly anyone whose sexual life, if it were broadcast, would not fill the world at large with surprise and horror.

Given a thimbleful of [dramatic] facts we rush to make generalizations as large as a tub.

Rather, love is a way of being, a “giving to,” not a ‘falling for”; a mode of relating at large, not an act limited to a single person.

It has not yet been recorded that any human being has gained a very large or permanent contentment from meditation upon the fact that he is better off than others.

Fine, large, meaningless, general terms like romance and business can always be related. They take the place of thinking, and are highly useful to optimists and lecturers.

It may be true that you can’t fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.

It’s absolutely wrong to see all of these large corporations folding into basically what the Democrats want, and that’s kissing the ring.
