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

Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.

People don’t have great attitudes because of great success, they have great success largely because of great attitudes.

One thing a goal must do is fill us with positive emotion when we think about it. The more intensely we feel about a goal the more progressively we’ll move toward it.

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.

Fear is the destructive energy in man. It withers the mind, it distorts thought, it leads to all kinds of extraordinarily clever and subtle theories, absurd superstitions, dogmas, and beliefs.

If you’re living your life in fear, then you’re just not living.

I have built my organization upon fear.

Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, and fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.

Whether you like it or not, you’re forced to come to the realisation that death is out there. But I don’t fear death, I’m a fatalist. I believe when it’s your time, that’s it. It’s the hand you’re dealt.

Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvelous work. The moment you fear, you are nobody. Be a hero. Always say, ‘I have no fear’. Tell this to everybody-‘Have no fear’.

Our own selfishness makes us the most arrant cowards; our own selfishness is the great cause of fear and cowardice.

I’ve never had a fear of traveling and going to a new place. I adapt.
