“My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action.”

Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity, but with it you can accomplish miracles.

Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future.

All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath so what does that make today worth?

Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.

A smile remains the most inexpensive gift I can bestow on anyone and yet its powers can vanquish kingdoms.

Already I am smiling in anticipation of the good to come.

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

True security lies not in the things one has, but in the things one can do without.

I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.

Remind thyself, in the darkest moments, that every failure is only a step toward success, every detection of what is false directs you toward what is true, every trial exhausts some tempting form of error, and every adversity will only hide, for a time, your path to peace and fulfillment.

I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think, and now I know a great secret of life, for I perceive, at last, that all my problems, discouragements , and heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise.

Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all.

You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity and the sour sound of whining.

If I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.

Action will destroy your procrastination.

I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand.

Hollywood seems to succumb to fads. Well, action films do well. Give me violence. Give me a scene where there’s a couple of car chases or shooting and stuff like that. They’re forgetting the fact that there’s a basic structure to a story that is essential to making it really broad and appealing.

He is the best man who, when making his plans, fears and reflects on everything that can happen to him, but in the moment of action is bold.

I want to die with my high heels on, still in action.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success.

Our words reveal our thoughts; our manners mirror our self-esteem; our actions reflect our character; our habits predict the future.

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.

Words mean nothing without action.

Did you ever get fed up?’ I said. ‘I mean did you ever get scared that everything was going to go lousy unless you did something?
