“My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.”

Already I am smiling in anticipation of the good to come.

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

True security lies not in the things one has, but in the things one can do without.

I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.

Remind thyself, in the darkest moments, that every failure is only a step toward success, every detection of what is false directs you toward what is true, every trial exhausts some tempting form of error, and every adversity will only hide, for a time, your path to peace and fulfillment.

I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think, and now I know a great secret of life, for I perceive, at last, that all my problems, discouragements , and heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise.

Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all.

You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity and the sour sound of whining.

If I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.

Action will destroy your procrastination.

I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand.

Each failure to sell will increase your chances for success at your next attempt.

I am not a human being, I am a human becoming.

I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.

It appears that ordinary men take wives because possession is not possible without marriage, and that ordinary women accept husbands because marriage is not possible without possession.

Most things disappoint till you look deeper.

Liberty, like health, appears most precious when lost.

The mirror of your health is your skin. If you drink, it shows in your face; if you eat the wrong foods, you have pimples. If you take care of your food and you lead a healthy life, your skin will look wonderful.

I always make sure my lashes look cute.

I’d much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0.

I don’t know what happens to me on stage. Something else seems to take over.

I never thought of myself as being handsome or good-looking or whatever.
