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

We become what we think about most of the time, and that’s the strangest secret.

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.

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.

The critic hates most that which he would have done himself if he had had the guts.

We eventually learn that emotional closure is our own action. We can be responsible for it. In any moment, we can choose to open or to close.

Never lower your target ; increase your actions.

Never reduce a target. Instead, increase actions!

No economy, no matter how bad, can hold down a goal that is followed by enough action.

History is the depository of great actions, the witness of what is past, the example and instructor of the present, and monitor to the future.

The greatness of a life can only be estimated by the multitude of its actions. We should not count the years, it is our actions which constitute our life.

I don’t want to be an action star, an action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.
