“Ask yourself every morning, ‘how can I increase my service today?’”

Preparation for life is so important. Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity. Opportunity is all around us. Are you prepared?

We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light so we can see the bright side of everything.

Your rewards will be determined by the extent of your contribution, that is your service to others.

Your world and everything in it is a reflection of your own mental attitude toward yourself.

Be positive, cheerful, grateful and expectant.

Open your ears before you open your mouth, it may surprise your eyes!

No man can get rich himself unless he enriches others.

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.

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.

If we commit ourselves to reading thus increasing our knowledge, only God limits how far we can go in this world.

By simply doing the reverse and focusing on why you are lucky and grateful things are not worse, you will strengthen and increase your mind’s positive emotions and make yourself happy and even more likely to feel happy in the future.

The irony is that it is actually in your best interest to be selfless. The things you do for the benefit of others not only make you feel fulfilled, they increase your chances of living a long and happy life.

Feeding the starving poor only increases their number.

[T]he State . . . gives idle capital the power of increase, and, through interest, rent, profit, and taxes, robs industrious labor of its products.

Unless each man produces more than he receives, increases his output, there will be less for him than all the others.

The more I learn about the human body, our environment, and the universe, the more it increases my faith.

Addiction is an increasing desire for an act that gives less and less satisfaction
