“One of the marks of successful people is they are action oriented. One of the marks of average people is they are talk oriented.”

One of the most important rules for success is this: Every great success is the result of hundreds and thousands of small efforts and accomplishments that no one sees or appreciates.

The more you like yourself, the better you do at everything you put your mind to.

Failure is an inside job. So is success. If you want to achieve you have to win the war in your thinking first.

Imagine your ideal future. Visualize yourself as if your life were perfect in every aspect.

Be prepared to ride the cycles and trends of life; success is never permanent, and failure is never final.

Growth and fulfillment come from abandoning old practices and embracing new ones.

Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.

Stop talking about the problem and start thinking about the solution.

The future belongs to the risk-takers, not the comfort-seekers .

All successful people, men and women, are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true.

You begin to fly when you let go of self-limiting beliefs and allow your mind and aspirations to rise to greater heights.

You must raise your aspirations, set higher goals, and make detailed plans to achieve them.

Money is hard to earn and easy to lose. Guard yours with care.

Think about your goals at every opportunity throughout the day.

Unsuccessful people get up whenever they feel like it and the first thing they do is watch television, read the paper, or check email. The rest of the day is pretty much 50% below maximum performance.

But the action film genre is gonna have to come up with some new bad guys.

Don’t be gullible, use life before it uses you. Understand there are no free lunches, and for every action you take, there’s a reaction.

Most action is based on redemption and revenge, and that’s a formula. Moby Dick was formula. It’s how you get to the conclusion that makes it interesting.

Human action is governed largely by instinct and emotion.

But it’s possible to love more than one person at a time, Bella. I’ve seen it in action.

Nicolas Cage is a great actor and he’s done some good action movies too.

Action comedy, if you can get it right, it is, for me, a particularly brilliant genre. It really is.

I always question whether it’s the right time for anything I do.
