“You can predict a persons future and divine his bank balance if you know two things: the books he reads, the people he associates with.”

That’s the secret: be interesting. If you can’t be interesting, shut up. There’s nothing wrong with silence.

Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity.

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.

Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.

My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.

A man is known by his books, his friends and the mistakes he admits.

I’ve read the Bible. I think the Bible’s a great book, but it’s a novel. It’s beautifully written and la-di-da, but people really took it the wrong way.

Jesus needs neither books nor Doctors of Divinity in order to instruct souls; He, the Doctor of Doctors, He teaches without noise of words.

You can learn investing by reading books.

It does not say in the Bible that all laws of nature are expressible linearly!

I haven’t read any of the autobiographies about me.
