“Whenever we’re afraid, it’s because we don’t know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.”

If you don’t have a good model for success, just look at what everybody else is doing and do the opposite.

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.

All you have to do is hold your goal before you and everything else will take care of itself.

Your rewards in life are in direct proportion to your service

Success is not the result of making money; earning money is the result of success — and success is in direct proportion to our service.

If your attitude toward the world is good, you will obtain good results. If your attitude is excellent, excellent will your results.

Get into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest, something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.

Problems are challenges to creative minds. Without problems, there would be little reason to think at all.

We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.

Don’t take the attitude of waiting for people to be nice to you – be nice to them. Don’t sit in front of a cold stove waiting for the heat. Put in the fuel. Act first.

Successful people are not people without problems. They are people who have learned to solve their problems.

Self-pity is an acid which eats holes in happiness.

To become successful and outstanding at something, we don’t have to come up with something new; we need only find ways of doing it better.

Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions.

The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.

The words we use for the Creator are a reflect of ourselves. If we think of God as fear and shame, we are scared and have something to be ashamed of … But if we see love, compassion and kindness, it is because we possess these qualities.

Men will never worship God with a sincere heart, or be roused to fear and obey Him with sufficient zeal, until they properly understand how much they are indebted to His mercy.

Meet your fears with faith.

We shouldn’t be fearful of freedom, we shouldn’t be fearful of individual liberty.

It’s hard to listen to your soul if you’re only listening to your fears.

Fear lives in the mind of doubt. Courage lives in the minds of those who dream.
