“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.”

Find out what you really love to do, and then find a way to make a good living doing it.

You either control your mind or it controls you.

Work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.

If you fail to control your own mind, you may be sure you will control nothing else.

If you do not believe in co-operation, look what happens to a wagon that loses a wheel.

Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire brings a small amount of heat.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

Whatever you think today becomes what you are tomorrow.

Yesterday is gone forever. Make the most of today and tomorrow if you wish to make up for lost time.

Sex energy is the creative energy of all creative geniuses.

First you fuel the desire, then the desire will fuel you.

Keep your mind fixed on what you want in life: not on what you don’t want.

Genuine wisdom is usually conspicuous through modesty and silence.

Desire backed by faith knows no such word as impossible.

Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.

God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.

My biggest goal in life will be achieved when I have a family, when I have my own kids that I can raise myself and bring up based on what I know. I always think it’s the wildest idea – raising a whole, entire human is insane to me, and I’ve always wanted kids.

Thoroughness characterizes all successful men. Genius is the art of taking infinite pains. All great achievement has been characterized by extreme care, infinite painstaking, even to the minutest detail.

No one has ever achieved anything from the smallest to the greatest unless the dream was dreamed first.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.

Go for the moon. If you don’t get it, you’ll still be heading for a star. Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of the creative effort.

Religious faith obscures uncertainty where uncertainty exists, allowing the unknown, the implausible, and the false to achieve primacy over the facts.
