“People residing within the cult of average don’t like to see others rise. It threatens their security, and spotlights their low self-worth. Go for great, no matter what they say.”

Take care of your dreams. Or your fears will care for them for you.

If you’re not thinking for yourself, then you’re following-not leading.

It wasn’t until I began to work on my inner life and know myself that my life changed. Success really does begin within. The size and quality of your outer life is only limited by the size and quality of your inner life.

Everything that scares you is an opportunity to know your best self better.

Success is created through the performance of a few small daily disciplines that stack up over time to produce achievements far beyond anything you could have ever planned for.

Leave everyone you meet better than you found them. Become an encourager of potential versus a destroyer of confidence.

All too often, we spend our days waiting for the ideal path to appear in front of us. We forget that paths are made by walking, not waiting.

You’ll know you’re amazing when you get devoted to making other people amazing.

Happiness is the DNA of pleasure.

Better to be an optimist who gets disappointed than a pessimist who has no hope.

We become happier not by accumulating more things but by creating richer experiences.

Become one of the rare people who don’t know how to quit.

Person who chases two rabbits catches neither.

Your limits are liars, you fears are thieves.

The quality of success you will experience in your life ultimately depends upon the tiny choices you make every minute of every hour of every day.

Things are not as bad as it seems. The situations that cause us sorrow are the same ones that introduce us to the strength, power and wisdom that we truly are.

The average result has to be the average result. By definition, everybody can’t beat the market. As I always say, the iron rule of life is that only 20% of the people can be in the top fifth. That’s just the way it is.

The average woman sees only the weak points in a strong man, and the good points in a weak one.

Passionately protest mediocrity.

There is no other subject on which the average mind is so much confused as the subject of tolerance and intolerance… Tolerance applies only to persons, but never to principles. Intolerance applies only to principles, but never to persons.

Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them.

There can be no doubt that the average man blames much more than he praises. His instinct is to blame. If he is satisfied he says nothing; if he is not, he most illogically kicks up a row.

It takes character to sit there with all that cash and do nothing. I didn’t get to where I am by going after mediocre opportunities.

The average call me obsessed, the successful call me for advice.
