“The big thing is that you know what you want.”

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.

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

Most people think they want more money than they really do, and they settle for a lot less than they could get.

If the average person realized the power he wields over his life and destiny, he would live in a perpetual state of wonder and thanksgiving.

A person who does not read is no better than one cannot read.

How can I be of the greatest service doing that which I most enjoy doing?

For me to have a cheeky little biscuit, it’s not going to hurt. But I need to control those indulgences. I can’t just be scoffing cakes and biscuits five nights a week.

When the night falls, my lonely heart calls.

I kind of focus on my own stuff, really, and then when people come into my territory, I’ve got to fight them away, and that’s what we do every time fight night happens.

You can fool people. You can fool anybody anytime of the day, but you can’t fool yourself. At night, when you go home, you’ve got to be straight up with you.

And when she stopped letting him steal her light she shined brighter than every star in the night sky.

The sun never gets tired of kissing the sky, goodnight. And my heart will never tire of a love, like that.

The face of the night will be an old wound that reopens each evening, impassive and living. The distant silence will ache like a soul, mute, in the dark. We’ll speak to the night as it’s whispering softly.

Some things change and some things never will. A night spent with an old friend, my heart is full.
