“Control your thoughts. Decide about that which you will think and concentrate upon. You are in charge of your life to the degree you take charge of your thoughts.”

We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.

We can help others in the world more by making the most of yourself than in any other way.

Each of us creates his or her own life largely by our attitude.

Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you’ve reached your goal.

We’ve got to be of service first before we can expect money.

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.

Find what you can do best that renders service to others and do it with all your might.

Time can’t be managed. I merely manage activities. Each night, I write down on a sheet of paper a list of the things I have to accomplish the next day. And when I wake up I do them.

Attitude is the reflection of a person, and our world mirrors our attitude.

Don’t catch the bad and infectious attitudes of others.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.

We are all creatures of habit. We can do most things without even thinking about them; our bodies take charge and do them for us.

Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

The big thing is that you know what you want.

In the movies, I kill guys with an axe. In real life, I can’t control a nine-year-old girl.

Once I realized that the only thing I can actually control in this life is my own mind, how I choose to react, feel, and perceive, I felt immediately liberated.

There is absolutely no evidence that it is harmful to children if their mother’s health, well-being and autonomy and control of her own destiny is maximized by work outside the home.

Letting go of control, that’s actually when you’re safe.

It is useless to attack men who could not be controlled even if conquered, while failure would leave us in an even worse position.

The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us

Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and respect of self, in turn, is the chief element in courage.

If you change the rules on what controls you… you will change the rules on what you can control.
