“Becoming rich isn’t as much about getting rich financially as about whom you become, in character and mind, to get rich.”

Nobody ever died of discomfort, yet living in the name of comfort has killed more ideas, more opportunities, more actions, and more growth than everything else combined. Comfort kills!

Practice being in the present. Do what you’re doing 100%.

Trust yourself and in the universe that everything will work out in the end.

One of the principles we teach in our programs is “If you shoot for the stars, you’ll at least hit the moon.” Poor people don’t even shoot for the ceiling in their house, and then they wonder why they’re not successful.

I observe my thoughts and entertain only those that empower me.

Helping people grow and achieve their dreams is the fastest route to success.

The truth is few people “think” big and even fewer “play” big. Why? Because “big” often means big responsibilitie s, big hassles and big problems. They look at that “bigness” and shrink. They’re smaller than their problems.

Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know.

The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, you’ll only achieve small things.

If you have a big problem in your life, all that means is that you are being a small person!

Focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want.

I think big! I choose to help thousands and thousands of people!

No thought lives in your head rent-free.

Whatever results you’re getting, be they rich or poor, good or bad, positive or negative, always remember that your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world. If things aren’t going well in your outer life, it’s because things aren’t going well in your inner life. It’s that simple.

You don’t have to believe that voice in your head. You don’t have to believe your own thinking. You can simply observe it and say, “Thank you for sharing,” and then take the necessary action you’re scared to take anyway.

The third level of wanting is “I commit to being rich.” The definition of the word commit is to “devote oneself unreservedly.” This means holding absolutely nothing back; giving 100 percent of everything you’ve got to achieving wealth.

We have become frighteningly effective at altering nature.

I have no desire at all to become the winningest coach at Notre Dame. The record belongs to Knute Rockne or some other coach in the future.

How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.

Amanda Bynes and I have become close since filming ‘Hairspray.’ It’s so weird because I grew up watching her.

I find that my upbringing in the Church and my relationship with God are huge benefits to me in helping me become the kind of person that I want to become.

Historically, the stuff of the universe goes on becoming concentrated into ever more organized forms of matter.

Through fidelity, we situate ourselves and maintain ourselves in the hands of God so exactly as to become one with them in their action.

The public has become my fairy godmother.
