“In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits.”

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.

Each failure to sell will increase your chances for success at your next attempt.

I am not a human being, I am a human becoming.

I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.

The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.

Faith makes all things possible, love makes all things easy.

There’s no difference between one’s killing and making decisions that will send others to kill. It’s exactly the same thing, or even worse.

Differences can be a strength.

One person of integrity can make a difference.

Democracy is the most realistic way for diverse peoples to resolve their differences, and share power, and heal social divisions without violence or repression.

You will make a difference in the world, but not immediately. Your first obligation is to find something you like doing, because if you like doing it, you’ll do it well.

The last time I checked, the only difference between my gay friends and I is who we choose to love. I’m not sure how that warrants a loss of rights, but it needs to stop. What ever happened to liberty and justice for all?
