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

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.

I think that there’s a difference between getting your heart broken and getting let down.

There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.

We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.

Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor morum over each other.

If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.

History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.
