“A success is anyone who is doing deliberately a pre-determined job, because that’s what he decided to do deliberately. But only one out of twenty does that.”

Time can’t be managed. I merely manage activities. Each night, I write down on a sheet of paper a list of the things I have to accomplish the next day. And when I wake up I do them.

Attitude is the reflection of a person, and our world mirrors our attitude.

Don’t catch the bad and infectious attitudes of others.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.

We are all creatures of habit. We can do most things without even thinking about them; our bodies take charge and do them for us.

Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

The big thing is that you know what you want.

Visualization is the human being’s vehicle to the future – good, bad, or indifferent. It’s strictly in our control.

By being persistent, you’re demonstrating faith. Persistence is simply another word for faith. If you didn’t have faith, you’d never persist.

Most people tiptoe their way through life, hoping they make it safely to death.

We are all self-made, but only the successful will admit it.

We become what we think about.

You are responsible for how your life turns out, and your attitude shapes that life for better or worse.

Achievement requires more than a vision – it takes courage, resolve and tenacity. All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality.

Decide where you are going and how you are to get there. Then make a start from where you now stand.

The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

It is insane that two men, sitting on opposite sides of the world, should be able to decide to bring an end to civilization.

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

Damned indecision and cursed pride.

I must have a prodigious amount of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up!
