“We become what we think about.”

Ideas are elusive, slippery things. Best to keep a pad of paper and a pencil at your bedside, so you can stab them during the night before they get away.

Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together.

People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be – whether they will admit that or not.

If a person will spend one hour a day on the same subject for five years, that person will be an expert on that subject.

The person with just one good idea is a thousand times better off than the person with no good ideas.

Security isn’t what the wise person looks for – it’s opportunity.

Shooting for the top will bring out the best that’s in you.

Watch what everyone else does–do the opposite. The majority is always wrong.

Strange and marvelous things will happen with constant regularity as you alter your life and begin living in harmony with the laws of the universe.

What happens inside always appears outside.

Goals reflect your choice of destination.

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

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.

Hammer your thoughts into unity.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.

The stars and the moon owe you nothing. But you – owe yourself everything.

When you want to do the thing that nobody did till now, once this desire comes from your heart, then you don’t have to do anything, that desire will do anything by using your body.

Love is like water; like a river crushing through the mountains to carve its own path. Love will make its own way but only if you have the courage to follow.

I was surprised, as always, be how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.

The ones that you’re calling wild are going to be the leaders in a little while.

Man belongs wherever he wants to go – and he’ll do plenty well when he gets there.
