• In fact, there’s no more powerful directing force in human behaviour
than belief. In essence, human history is the history of human belief.
Anthony Robbins.
• Care about what you’re capable of. Care about what you create and
what you want to do. Work from a set of dynamic, evolving, enabling

will always be someone who has less. None of that matters. You need
to judge yourself by your goals and nothing else. Anthony Robbins.

• The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own

little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. Albert
Einstein.

interrupt you; you must actively seek it. Empowering ideas and
experiences must be pursued. Anthony Robbins.
• Each day that we live, we’re taking in new information, ideas,
concepts, experiences, and sensations. We need to consciously stand
at the doors of our minds to make sure that whatever we’re allowing
to enter will cause our lives to be enriched, that the experiences we
pursue will add to our stockpile of possibility. Anthony Robbins.
• Remember, it’s the moments of our lives that shape us. It’s up to us to
pursue and create the moments that will lift us and not limit us.

kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to
evaporate. Albert Schweitzer.
• The great man is he that does not lose his child’s heart. Mencius.
• Life is a balance between giving and receiving, between taking care of
yourself and taking care of others. Yes, give some of your time,
capital and energy to those who truly need it – but also be willing to
give to yourself. And do so with joy, not with guilt. You don’t have to
take the weight of the world on your shoulders. Anthony Robbins.

• You can either be the captive or the captain of your thoughts. Denis
Waitley.

• Positive self-awareness is realizing that each human being on earth is

a person with equal rights to fulfill his or her own potential in life.
Denis Waitley.
• Open up your lenses to the possibilities and alternatives available in
your life. Change your attitude and your lifestyle and your many
environments will change automatically. Understand your own
uniqueness. Appreciate the differences in others. Relax and learn to
respond positively to stress. Change for the better that which can be
changed. Remove from your presence those negative influences that
cannot be changed. Denis Waitley.
• To establish true self-esteem, we must concentrate on our successes
and look at the failures and negatives in our lives only as corrective
feedback to get us on target again. Denis Waitley.

we make determine whether we win or lose our particular game of
life. Denis Waitley.

good life. Denis Waitley.
• Plan the work and work the plan. Denis Waitley.
• What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of our life.
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any
day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new
knowledge. Any day we wish, we can start a new activity. Any day
we wish, we can start the process of life change. We can do it
immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if
the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we
can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment
over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The
choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue
to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is
not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by
our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to
make better choices beginning today. Jim Rohn.
• You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win,
prepare to win, and expect to win. Zig Ziglar.
• Choose not to join an easy crowd where expectations are low or where
they do not care. You will not grow. Go where expectations are high.
Go where you are challenged to study, to read, to change, to develop,
and to learn the next skill. It is the challenge that creates the muscle,
the mental muscle, the vocal muscle, the actual physical muscle to
become better, stronger, wiser, and more unique. Jim Rohn.
• On a foggy night, if all you can see is one hundred feet. First walk the
one hundred feet and then you will find that you can see another
hundred feet. In the beginning you can’t see the two hundred feet, you
must take the steps to discover what is beyond your view. Jim Rohn.
• For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you
have to get better. Jim Rohn.
• The best way to predict the future is to create it. Peter F. Drucker.
• The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.

you in a moment and offer you more joy than any material possession
could. Barbara D’Angelis.
• A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of
those intensely right words…the resulting effect is physical as well as

• If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity
to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning. Mahatma Gandhi.
• Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that
most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You
are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t see the world. There is
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel
insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We
were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not
just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As
we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others. Marianne Williamson.

• Don’t waste your life in doubts and fears: spend yourself on the work
before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour’s
duties will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
• A Best-Kept Secret of Total Success is that our minds cannot tell the
difference between real experience and one that is vividly and
repeatedly imagined. Denis Waitley.
• Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are
an incentive to keep you going all day. Goals tend to tap the deeper
resources and draw the best out of life. Harvey Mackay.
• If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If
you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you.
Whatever good things we build end up building us. Jim Rohn.

follow virtue and knowledge. Dante Alighieri.
• The greatest gift that God in His bounty made in creation, and the
most conformable to His goodness, and that which He prizes the most,

they all and they alone, were and are endowed. Dante Alighieri.

• The key to sustaining motivation is staying focused on your vision,
and remaining firmly entrenched in your belief that all things are
possible. George J. Morse.
• You may have been on the passing side or the failing side of the test,
or maybe you have yet to be tested. In any case, when you work
toward the realization of your dreams, the bigger the vision, the harder
your test is bound to be; and believe me, you will be tested. The good
news is that by deepening your understanding of commitment today,
you can pass the tests you will face tomorrow; thus allowing you to
find solutions and overcome obstacles, so you can effectively stay
your course. George J. Morse.
• Successful people don’t have fewer problems than unsuccessful
people. We all face adversity. We all have problems. What determines
our success is how we respond to the problems we face. Do we run
and hide when problems arise, avoiding them and hoping they will go
away, or do we face those problems head on and get busy solving
them? The choice is ours. In the end, history will judge us not by the
adversity we face, but instead by how we respond in the face of
adversity. George J. Morse.
• When I look back on all the problems I faced in my own life, I realize
that if I had never encountered those problems and worked to solve
them, I would not be as capable as I am today. I now understand that
every problem I solve makes me a stronger person, and better at
something. I learn from mistakes, gain experience, become more
aware, become more productive, gain confidence, and feel more
successful. As a result, my view of what a problem is has changed
over the years. I find myself looking at problems from a completely
different angle – a different point of view. I don’t see them as
problems anymore. From this new perspective, instead of seeing
problems, I see opportunities for improvement. George J. Morse.
• Obviously, owners take better care of their possessions than non-
owners do. People care more about things they own because they’ve
spent their hard-earned money to get those things. Owners have a
vested interest in the things they’ve purchased, and have a strong
desire to protect their investment. The very nature of ownership brings
about a conscious mind-set focused on the best possible performance
for the care and protection of an investment. Simply stated, people
who own something will do a better job caring for it than those who
do not. George J. Morse.
• Being the owner of your results allows you to focus on your
performance, to own up to your part in the outcome. You don’t need
to waste time arguing about who’s to blame; just gather the
information you need to make an accurate assessment of how your
actions contributed to the poor results, and you’re done. Then deal
with the consequences caused by your mistake, correct whatever it is
you did wrong, and in no time you’ll be back on the road to success,
as if those poor results never happened… If you are going to take
ownership of your results and hold yourself accountable for your
mistakes, then it’s only fair to recognize your accomplishments, and
allow yourself to feel good about them. In fact, it is necessary. Failing
to see the good in what you’ve done, can be just as detrimental to your
success, as failing to admit your mistakes. If you are not aware of
what works, how can it be duplicated? ...Then allow yourself to feel
good about what you have accomplished to that point. The best part
about ownership is enjoying the profits. George J. Morse.
• The way out of a trap is to study the trap itself, and learn how it is
built. You do this by taking the thing apart, piece by piece. The trap
can't trap you if it has been taken to pieces. The result is freedom.
Bhante Gunaratna.
• Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the

ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to
be found only in studying the exemplary. Warren G. Bennis.
• Dependent people need others to get what they want. Independent
people can get what they want through their own efforts.
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of
others to achieve their greatest success. Stephen Covey.
• You must remain focused on your journey to greatness. Les Brown.
• Love is a force that connects us to every strand of the universe, an
unconditional state that characterizes human nature, a form of
knowledge that is always there for us if only we can open ourselves to
it. Emily Hilburn Sell.
• Don’t be misled by a false notion of obligation or duty. You can owe
no possible obligation or duty to others which should prevent you
from making the most of yourself. Wallace D. Wattles.
• May you live all the days of your life. Jonathan Swift.
• Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness. Oliver
Wendell Holmes.

nature of those events themselves. Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogy.
• I have from an early age abjured from the use of meat. Leonardo da
Vinci.

frequently chided for my singularity, but, with this lighter repast, I
made the greater progress, for greater clearness of head and quicker
comprehension. Benjamin Franklin.

with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.

are in can you receive whatever gift, lesson, or delight that moment
has to offer. Barbara De Angelis.

others. Thomas Kempis.
• This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with

of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy
attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.

out completes the circle and comes back to us. Flora Edwards.

those we love feel good about themselves. Keith Harrell.

change amid order. Alfred N. Whitehead.

Yeager.

below the conscious level. Joyce Brothers.
• Intuition is perception beyond the physical senses that is meant to
assist you. Gary Zukav.
• Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, and then leave it
behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant
of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different
person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched
hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed. Eileen Caddy.

them. Gary Zukav.

ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we
make are ultimately our own responsibility. Eleanor Roosevelt.

the greatness you can ultimately achieve. Les Brown.

Qubein.
• Use your good judgment in all situations. Contents of the entire

Peter F. Drucker.
• The Master may be defined as: "Coordination of knowledge and
effort, in a spirit of harmony between two or more people, for the
attainment of a definite purpose. Napoleon Hill.
• There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge;
both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought. Napoleon Hill.
• Success requires no apologies, failure permits no alibis. If the thing
you wish to do is right and you believe in it, go ahead and do it! Put
your dream across and never mind what “they” say if you meet with
temporary defeat, for “they”, perhaps, do not know that EVERY
FAILURE BRINGS WITH IT THE SEED OF AN EQUIVALENT
SUCCESS. Napoleon Hill.
• There is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being
READY to receive it. No one is ready for a thing until he believes he
can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or
wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief. Napoleon Hill.
• Remember, no more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand
abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and
poverty. Napoleon Hill.
• DESIRE BACKED BY FAITH knows no such word as impossible.
Napoleon Hill.
• The emotions of FAITH, LOVE and SEX are the most powerful of all
the major positive emotions. When the three are blended, they have
the effect of “coloring” the vibration of thought in such a way that it
instantly reaches the subconscious mind, where it is changed into its
spiritual equivalent, the only form that induces a response from the
Infinite Intelligence. Napoleon Hill.
• Repetition of orders to your subconscious mind is the only known
method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith…FAITH IS
A STATE OF MIND WHICH MAY BE INDUCED BY
AUTOSUGGESTION. Napoleon Hill.
• FAITH is the “eternal elixir” which gives life, power, and action to
the impulse of thought! Napoleon Hill.
• ALL THOUGHTS WHICH HAVE BEEN EMOTIONALIZED,
(given feeling) AND MIXED WITH FAITH, begin immediately to
translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counterpart.

Napoleon Hill.
• Just as electricity will turn the wheels of industry, and render useful
service if used constructively or snuff out life if wrongly used, so will
the law of auto-suggestion lead you to peace and prosperity or down
into the valley of misery, failure and death according to your degree
of understanding and application of it. Napoleon Hill.
• Happiness is found in doing. Not merely in possessing. Napoleon Hill.
• Discipline is remembering what you want. David Campbell.
• The more people I serve, the more rich I become. Robert Kiyosaki.
• The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving:
it’s in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to
others, I’m caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than
giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Ram
Dass.
• In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they
won was over themselves... Self-discipline with all of them came first.
Harry Truman.
• Commitment means getting up if you trip along the way. It means
putting one foot in front of another, even if the going gets tough. It
means no detours or shortcuts - no looking back. Just keep moving
forward on the road to your own success. Brian Tracy.
• The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose. J.
Martin Kohe.
• Fear, uncertainty, and doubt are, and always have been, the greatest
enemies of success and happiness…Act as if you are fearless. Act as
if you cannot fail. Brian Tracy.
• Acceptance of responsibility is part of great mental health. It also
creates an attitude of openness to improvement in your own
performance. It makes you the "boss" of your own company: You,
Inc. Brian Tracy.

set for yourself; there are no limits. Brian Tracy.
• Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom. Thomas Jefferson.
• Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all of
your energies on a limited set of targets. Nido Qubein.
• If there's anything I would like to be remembered for it's that I helped
people understand that leadership is helping other people grow and
succeed. To repeat myself, leadership is not just about you. It's about
them. Jack Welch.
• God seems to throw Himself on the side of the man who knows
exactly what he wants, if he is determined to get JUST THAT!
Napoleon Hill.
• If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can
become it. William Arthur Ward.
• The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic
experience. Emily Dickinson.
• What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for
it-would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In
order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must
truly appreciate what you already have. Ralph Marston.
• The act of taking the first step is what separates the winners from the
losers. Brian Tracy.
• I'm a great believer in luck, and I find that the harder I work, the more
I have of it. Thomas Jefferson.
• My experience has taught me that the next best thing to being truly
great is to emulate the great, by feeling and action, as nearly as
possible. Napoleon Hill.
• Mind control is the result of self-discipline and habit. You either
control your mind or it controls you…The most practical of all
methods for controlling the mind is keeping it busy with a definite
purpose, backed by a definite plan. Napoleon Hill.
• Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in
the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.
Denis Waitley.
• Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. Albert
Einstein.
• It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at
the top. Arnold Bennett.
• Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have
no choice but to believe with you. Cynthia Kersey.
• There is a time when we must firmly choose the course we will
follow, or the relentless drift of events will make the decision for us.
Herbert Prochnow.
• Your mission can take a few hours a week or your whole life.
Whatever the scale, it is a powerful and magnetic leadership quality.
• Everyday leaders are everywhere. They are you and others like you
who want to make a contribution...Their missions may be on a more
modest scale than those of world leaders, but they are equally
important...They offer us easily accessible motivations, hope and
inspiration for daily living. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• Have the courage to question your preconceived ideas, prejudices, and
conditioned responses. When you examine these roadblocks, you can
open a floodgate of possibilities. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• When we think we send out vibrations of a fine ethereal substance,
which are as real as the vibrations manifesting light, heat, sound,
electricity and magnetism. That these vibrations are not evident to our
five senses is no proof that they do not exist…If we fully
comprehended the truth of the statement and the natural consequences
of the truth back of it, we should understand many things which have
appeared dark to us, and would be able to use the wonderful power,
Thought Force, just as we use any other manifestation of energy.
William W. Atkinson.
• Not only do our thought waves influence ourselves and others, but
they have a drawing power – they attract to us the thoughts of others,
things, circumstances, people, “luck” in accord with the character of
the thought uppermost in our minds…A strong thought or a thought
long continued, will make us the center of attraction for the
corresponding thought waves of others. Like attracts like in the
Thought World – as ye sow so shall ye reap. William W. Atkinson.
• Many of the “stray thoughts” which come to us are just reflections or
answering vibrations to some strong thought sent out by another. But
unless our minds are attuned to receive it, the thought will not likely
affect us…The man who believes thoroughly in himself and maintains
a positive strong mental attitude of Confidence and Determination is
not likely to be affected by the adverse and negative thoughts of
Discouragement and Failure emanating from the minds of other
persons in whom these last qualities predominate. William W.
Atkinson.
• The man who thinks that all is evil is apt to see much evil, and will be
brought into contact with others who will seem to prove his theory.
And the man who looks for good in everything and everybody will be
likely to attract to himself the things and people corresponding to his
thought. We generally see that for which we look. William W.

Atkinson.
• Development of the will is very much like the development of a
muscle – a matter of practice and gradual improvement. At first it is
apt to be tiresome, but at each trial one grows stronger until the new
strength becomes real and permanent. William W. Atkinson.
• Man can build up his mind and make it what he wills. In fact we are
mind-building every hour of our lives, either consciously or
unconsciously. William W. Atkinson.
• Realize that there is nothing to Fear – that Worry and Fear never
helped anyone, and never will. Realize that Fear paralyzes effort, and
that Courage promotes activity. William W. Atkinson.
• A man may worry himself to death and yet nothing will be
accomplished, but let that man transmute his worry and discontent
into Desire and Interest, coupled with a belief that he is able to make
the change – the “I Can and I Will” idea – then something happens.
• Your mind is given you for your good and for your own use – not to
use you…There is only room for one thing at a time in the focus of
attention; so put all your attention upon one thought, and the others
will sneak off. William W. Atkinson.
• If confronted with the question: “Which of these two things should I
do?” the best answer is: “I will do that which I would like to become a
habit with me”. William W. Atkinson.
• The mind has been likened to a piece of paper that has been folded.
Ever afterwards it has a tendency to fold in the same crease – unless
we make a new crease or fold, when it will follow the last lines. And
the creases are habits – every time we make one it is so much easier
for the mind to fold along the same crease afterward. Let us make our
mental creases in the right direction. William W. Atkinson.
• The best way to overcome undesirable or negative thoughts and
feelings is to cultivate the positive ones. The positive thought is the
strongest one, and will in time starve out the negative one by
withdrawing from it the nourishment necessary for its existence.
• The mind works on the subconscious plane, remember, and almost
always along the lines of the ruling passion or desire. It will fix up
things, and patch together plans and schemes, and when you need
them the most it will pop them into your consciousness, and you will
• Children instinctively recognize that nothing is too good for them.

They want all that is in sight to play with, and they seem to feel that
the things are theirs by right. And that is the condition of mind that we
seekers after the Divine Adventure must cultivate. Unless we become
as little children we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. William W.
Atkinson.
• Every thought brings into action certain physical tissue, parts of the
brain, nerve or muscle. This produces an actual physical change in the
construction of the tissue. Therefore it is only necessary to have a
certain number of thoughts on a given subject in order to bring about a
complete change in the physical organization of a man. Charles F.
Haanel.
• We cannot express powers that we do not possess. The only way by
which we may secure possession of power is to become conscious of
power, and we can never become conscious of power until we learn
that all power is from within. Charles F. Haanel.
• The world without is a reflection of the world within. What appears
without is what has been found within. In the world within may be
found infinite Wisdom, infinite Power, infinite Supply of all that is
necessary, waiting for unfoldment, development and expression. If we
recognize these potentialities in the world within they will take form
in the world without…The world within is the cause, the world
without the effect; to change the effect you must change the cause.
Charles F. Haanel.
• Mental efficiency is contingent upon harmony; discord means
confusion; therefore he who would acquire power must be in harmony
with Natural Law. Charles F. Haanel.
• Leaders that make a difference are 'big thinkers.' They know that
seeing things others can't see is not only a quality of leadership; it is a
responsibility. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• If you are a big thinker....you have faith in the desire of other people
to do well, to make a contribution, to have a meaningful life. You
know that most people don't want to feel like losers. Your faith in
them can make a world of difference in how they perform because
your faith acts as a catalyst to their courage. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• Big thinking always precedes big achievement. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• Our difficulties are largely due to confused ideas and ignorance of our
true interests. The great task is to discover the laws of nature to which
we are to adjust ourselves. Charles F. Haanel.
• Thought is energy. Active thought is active energy; concentrated
thought is concentrated energy. Thought concentrated on a definite
purpose becomes power. Charles F. Haanel.
• Not only can it impress other minds, but it can direct the subconscious
mind. In this way the conscious mind becomes the responsible ruler
and guardian of the subconscious mind. It is this high function which
can completely reverse conditions in your life. Charles F. Haanel.
• Cause and effect is as absolute and undeviating in the hidden realm of
thought as in the world of visible and material things. Mind is the
master weaver, both of the interior garment of character and the outer
garment of circumstance. James Allen.
• Relaxation is an absolute necessity in order to allow the mental
faculties to exercise the greatest freedom... The Solar Plexus will then
be ready to function and you will be surprised at the result. Charles F.
Haanel.
• Amid all the mysteries by which we are surrounded, nothing is more
certain than that we are ever in the presence of an Infinite and Eternal
Energy from which all things proceed. Herbert Spender.
• We cannot give unless we get; we cannot be helpful unless we are
strong. The Infinite is not bankrupt and we who are the representatives
of the Infinite power should not be bankrupts either, and if we wish to
be of service to others we must have power and more power, but to
get it we must give it; we must be of service. The more we give the
more we shall get; we must become a channel whereby the Universal
can express activity. The Universal is constantly seeking to express
itself, to be of service, and it seeks the channel whereby it can find the
greatest activity, where it can do the most good, where it can be of
greatest service to mankind. Charles F. Haanel.
• Avoid counterfeits. Build firm foundations for your consciousness
upon forces which flow direct from the Infinite source, the Universal
Mind of which you are the image and likeness. Charles F. Haanel.
• He who sees his Lord within every creature, deathlessly dwelling
amidst the mortal: that man sees truly. Bhagavad-Gita.
• The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart, head and
hands. Robert M. Pirsig.
• The individual is but the channel for the differentiation of the

Universal. Charles F. Haanel.
• He highest moral ideal is the greatest good to the greatest number.
Charles F. Haanel.
• The architect, when he plans a 30-storey building, has every line and
detail pictured in advance. The engineer, when he spans a chasm, first
ascertains the strength requirements of a million separate parts. They
see the end before a single step is taken; so you are to picture in your
mind what you want; you are sowing the seed, but before sowing any
seed you want to know what the harvest is to be. This is Idealization.
Then comes the process of Visualization and, finally, the third step, or
Materialization, will have been accomplished. Charles F. Haanel.
• Make the Mental Image; make it clear, distinct, perfect; hold it firmly;
the ways and means will develop; supply will follow the demand; you
will be led to do the right thing at the right time and in the right way.
Charles F. Haanel.
• Remember that majorities are always led, they never lead. Charles F.
Haanel.
• The three steps necessary to bring the Law of Attraction (i.e. The Law
of Cause and Effect) into operation are: Earnest Desire, Confident
Expectation and Firm Demand. Charles F. Haanel.
• It is the Law which makes the Universe one grand paean of Harmony.
If it were not for law, the Universe would be a Chaos instead of a
Cosmos. Good and evil are simply words which have been coined to
indicate the result of our action, or our compliance or not compliance
with this Law. Charles F. Haanel.
• To know the Truth is to be in harmony with the Infinite and
Omnipotent power. To know the Truth is, therefore, to connect
yourself with a power which is irresistible and which will sweep away
every kind of discord, inharmony, doubt or error of any kind, because
the “Truth is mighty and will prevail”. Charles F. Haanel.
• The way to fight darkness is with light, the way to fight cold is with
heat, the way to overcome evils is with good. Affirm the good and the
bad will vanish. Frederick Elias Andrews.
• Creation is the calling into existence of that which does not exist in
the objective world. Evolution is simply the unfolding of potentialities
involved in things which already exist. Charles F. Haanel.
• You must first have the knowledge of your power; second, the
courage to dare; third, the faith to do. Charles F. Haanel.
• You cannot change the Infinite, but you can come to an understanding
of Natural Laws. The reward of this understanding is a conscious
realization of your ability to adjust your thought faculties with the
Universal Thought which is Omnipresent. Your ability to cooperate
with this Omnipotence will indicate the degree of success with which
you meet. Charles F. Haanel.
• Thought impregnated with Love becomes invincible. It is the
combination of Thought and Love which forms the irresistible force,
called the Law of Attraction. Charles F. Haanel.
• A happy thought cannot exist in an unhappy consciousness; therefore
the consciousness must change and, as the consciousness changes, all
conditions necessary to meet the changed consciousness must
gradually change, in order to meet the requirements of the new
situation. Charles F. Haanel.
• Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your
energies on a limited set of targets. Nido Qubein.
• Education, advertising, corporate policy, civil law, and religious tenets
all need to be re-examined and updated by courageous leaders who
are willing to tackle tough or unpopular issues. You and I can make a
difference by questioning those things that do not seem ethical, by
speaking up and letting our views be known. The men and women
who put their lives on the line to bring about social change — the end
of slavery, the recognition of unions, women's right to vote, the end of
segregation, and nuclear disarmament — are good examples of people
who put ethics first. Our short history is an exciting one. We will
continue to have a bright future if we can encourage and produce
leaders who put ethics at the top of the list of leadership qualities. If
you are an ethical person you will attract others to you. If making a
difference means having great concern for ethics, you will be one of
those who lead. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• Truth invariably destroys error. We do not have to laboriously shovel
the darkness out; all that is necessary is to turn the light on. Charles F.
Haanel.
• Wealth should never be considered as an end, but simply as a means
of accomplishing an end. Success is contingent upon a higher ideal
than the mere accumulation of riches, and he who aspires to such
success must formulate an ideal for which he is willing to strive.
Charles F. Haanel.
• Remember that fundamentally the subconscious is omnipotent; there

is no limit to the things that can be done when it is given the power to
act. Your degree of success is determined by the nature of your desire.
If the nature of your desire is in harmony with Natural Law or
Universal Mind, it will gradually emancipate the mind and give you
invincible courage. Charles F. Haanel.
• If you wish to eliminate fear, concentrate on courage. If you wish to
eliminate lack, concentrate on abundance. If you wish to eliminate
disease, concentrate on health. Charles F. Haanel.
• I believe people should study a little bit every day. It should become
habitual, like brushing your teeth, combing your hair, having a shower
or getting dressed. Study the mind, the laws of the universe and
paradigms. There's enough information on those subjects to keep a
person studying forever. I believe people should study a little bit every
day. It should become habitual, like brushing your teeth, combing

• The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.
Maya Angelou.
• Get around the right people. Associate with positive, goal-oriented
people who encourage and inspire you. Brian Tracy.
• The spirit of you is you; without the spirit you would be nothing. It
becomes active through your recognition of it and its possibilities…
The one and only condition of spiritual power is use or recognition.
When you begin to perceive that the essence of the Universal is within
yourself – is you – you begin to do things; you begin to feel your
power; it is the fuel which fires the imagination; which lights the torch
of inspiration; which gives vitality to thought; which enables you to
connect with all the invisible forces of the Universe. It is this power
which will enable you to plan fearlessly, to execute masterfully…And
when we learn to recognize it, not only in ourselves, but in all persons,
events, things and circumstances we shall have found the “Kingdom
of Heaven” which we are told is “within” us…Spiritual Power is the
mightiest force in existence. Charles F. Haanel.
• When the individual mind touches the Universal Mind it receives all
the power it requires. This is the world within. Therefore, the more
conscious we become of our unity with the source of all power, the
greater will be our power to control and master every condition.

Charles F. Haanel.
• Everything in the Universe is what it is by virtue of its rate of
vibration. Change the rate of vibration and you change the nature,
quality and form. The vast panorama of nature, both visible and
invisible, is being constantly changed by simply changing the rate of
vibration, and as thought is vibration we can also exercise this power.
We can change the vibration and thus produce any condition which
we desire to manifest in our bodies. Charles F. Haanel.
• We make money by making friends, and we enlarge our circle of
friends by making money for them, by helping them, by being of
service to them. The first law of success than is service and this in
turn is built on integrity and justice. Charles F. Haanel.
• What benefits one must benefit all. Charles F. Haanel.
• Spirituality is the most “practical” thing in the world – the only really
and absolutely “practical” thing that there is! Charles F. Haanel.
• The minute the spirit leaves the body, we are as nothing. Therefore,
the spirit is really, all there is of us. Charles F. Haanel.
• Man is the master of thought, the molder of character, and the maker
and shaper of condition, environment, and destiny. James Allen.
• Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and
growing the flowers and fruits which he requires so may a man tend
the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless and impure
thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of
right, useful and pure thoughts. James Allen.
• As a progressive and evolving being, man is where he is that he may
learn that he may grow; and as he learns the spiritual lesson which any
circumstance contains for him, it passes away and gives place to other
circumstances. James Allen.
• Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be
the creature of outside conditions, but when he realizes that he is a
creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds
of his being out of which circumstances grow; he then become the
rightful master of himself. James Allen.
• The sole and supreme use of suffering is to purify, to burn out all that
is useless and impure. Suffering ceases for him who is pure. James
Allen.
• A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose

his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.
James Allen.
• There is no physician like cheerful thought to dissipate the ills of the
body; there is no comforter to compare with goodwill for dispersing
the shadows of grief and sorrow. James Allen.
• As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and
patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong
by exercising himself in right thinking. James Allen.
• Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the
result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an
indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary
knowledge of the laws and operations of thought. James Allen.
• Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points
the way. Florence Scovel Shinn.
• If you are willing and able to change, you can affect people,
situations, and systems. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• To be a change master you must first learn to handle change yourself.
Then you can take your skills, talents, and abilities and help others
change. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• A high level of faith in positive outcomes cannot be underestimated.
People naturally want to follow a person who believes that everything
will turn out well. When that belief implies that the people around you
will be a part of the positive outcome, they become that much more
excited and loyal to your leadership. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• Expecting success to follow a period of change affects your attitude
and that of your followers. It is a powerful motivator....When you
have faith that you and others in your organization will handle change
well, you'll be a strong leader. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• We will continue to have a bright future if we can encourage and
produce leaders who put ethics at the top of the list of leadership
qualities. If you are an ethical person you will attract others to you. If
making a difference means having great concern for ethics, you will
be one of those who lead. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• You don't get to control any outcome, only every choice you make
along the way. Stephen C. Paul.
• We will by conscious command evolve cerebral centers which will
permit us to use powers that we now are not even capable of
imagining. Frederick Tilney.
• Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have
more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so
they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You
must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order
to have what you want. Margaret Young.
• A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by
yourself. Joel Arthur Barker.
• The manager administers; the leader innovates. The manager has a
short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on
the horizon. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges
it. Warren Bennis.
• When we acknowledge that all of life is sacred and that each act is an
act of choice and therefore sacred, then life is a sacred dance lived
consciously each moment. When we live at this level, we participate
in the creation of a better world. Scout Cloud Lee.
• You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live
long enough to make them all yourself. Sam Levenson.
• We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. Loretta
Scott.
• Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we
believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we
perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends
upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe
determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our
reality. Gary Zukav.
• Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry with me, for
every man is a mirror. We see only ourselves reflected in those
around us. Their attitudes and actions are only a reflection of our own.
The whole world and its condition has its counter parts within us all.
Turn the gaze inward. Correct yourself and your world will change.
Kirsten Zambucka.
• It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the
difference. Bear Bryant.
• A racehorse that consistently runs just a second faster than another
horse is worth millions of dollars more. Be willing to give that extra
effort that separates the winner from the one in second place. H.
Jackson Brown, Jr.

myself and others. I am the creator of my life and my world.
I meet daily challenges gracefully and with complete confidence.
I fill my mind with positive, nurturing, and healing thoughts. Alice
Potter.
• Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all
good things toward you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well
as others. Do not strain after the needs of life. It is sufficient to be
quietly alert and aware of them. In this way life proceeds more
naturally and effortlessly. Life is here to Enjoy! Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi.

single-handedly move the world. Archimedis.
• It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well.
Rene Descartes.
• I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love,
and abundance. Then, whenever doubt, anxiety, or fear try to call me,
they will keep getting a busy signal-and soon they'll forget my
number. Edith Armstrong.
• Creativity, as has been said, consists largely of rearranging what we

know in order to find out what we do not know . . . Hence, to think
creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take
for granted. George Kneller.
• A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but
rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. Hugh Downs.

moment. Oprah Winfrey.

others. Cicero.

making money. John Wicker.

only interest. John Stewart Mill.

violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident. Arthur
Schopenhauer.
• Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no
one else has even been. You have to leave the city of your comfort

shut up and refrain from declaring it, I should refuse. There's no
delight in owning anything unshared. Seneca.

violence. The greatest conqueror wins without struggle. The most
successful manager leads without dictating. This is intelligent

investment. Michael E. Angier.
• Our job is to decide; the Universe's job is to provide. Michael E.
Angier.
• The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain,
egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous. On the contrary, it makes

people bitter and cruel. W. Somerset Maugham.
• Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability

What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What

becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Jim

• The psychology behind the fear of change is a concern that we'll loose
our personal identity and not know what to do or how to act after the
change. We won't "be ourselves" anymore. So, to help people deal
with their fear, leaders must help them see how they will be affected
by the change. What will become of them and what will the change
mean to their personal lives. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• Very little is more rewarding to a leader than watching people
blossom and grow. To see their faces when they accomplish a new
task and to share their excitement when they do what they thought
was impossible — these are the rewards of a change master-leader.
When you help other people change, grow, and discover their own
potential, you have added to the quality of their lives. Sheila Murray
Bethel.
• Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is
not possible to live a really complete and successful life unless one is
rich. No one can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul
development unless he has plenty of money, for to unfold the soul and
to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have
these things unless he has money to buy them with. Wallace D.
Wattles.
• Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of
becoming. This desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in
human nature. Wallace D. Wattles.
• You must get rid of the last vestige of the old idea that there is a Deity
whose will is that you should be poor or whose purposes may be
served by keeping you in poverty...A seed, dropped into the ground,
springs into activity, and in the act of living produces a hundred more
seeds; life, by living, multiplies itself. It is forever becoming more. It
must do so, if it continues to be at all…In order to know more, do
more, and be more we must have more. We must have things to use,
for we learn, and do, and become only by using things. We must get
rich so that we can live more…The One Substance desires to live
more in and through you. Therefore it wants you to have all the things
you can use. It is the desire of God that you should get rich. Wallace
D. Wattles.
• You can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make
the most of yourself. Wallace D. Wattles.
• But remember that extreme altruism is no better and no nobler than
extreme selfishness; both are mistakes. Get rid of the idea that God
wants you to sacrifice yourself for others and that you can secure his
favor by doing so. God requires nothing of the kind. What God wants
is that you should make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for
others. And you can help others more by making the most of yourself
than in any other way. Wallace D. Wattles.
• You must get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not
to compete for what is already created. You must never think for a
moment that the supply is limited. Wallace D. Wattles.
• You cannot give everyone more in cash market value than you take
from him, but you can give him more in use value than the cash value
of the thing you take from him. Give everyone more in use value than
you take from him in cash value. Then you are adding to the life of the
world by every business transaction. Wallace D. Wattles.
• First, you believe that there is one intelligent substance, from which
all things proceed. Second, you believe that this substance gives you
everything you desire. And third, you relate yourself to it by a feeling
of deep and profound gratitude. The whole process of mental
adjustment and attunement can be summed up in one word: Gratitude.
You cannot exercise much power without gratitude, for it is gratitude
that keeps you connected with power. The grateful mind is constantly
fixed upon the best. Therefore it tends to become the best. It takes the
form or character of the best, and will receive the best. Also, faith is
born of gratitude. The grateful mind continually expects good things,
and expectation becomes faith. Wallace D. Wattles.
• If you were going to send a wireless message to a friend, you would
not send the letters of the alphabet in their order and let him construct
the message for himself, nor would you take words at random from
the dictionary. You would send a coherent sentence, one which meant
something. You must know what you want and be specific and
definite. The more clear and definite you make your picture then, and
the more you dwell upon it, bringing out all its delightful details, the
stronger your desire will be. And the stronger your desire, the easier it
will be to hold your mind fixed upon the picture of what you want.
Behind your clear vision must be the purpose to realize it, to bring it
out in tangible expression. And behind this purpose must be an
invincible and unwavering FAITH that the thing is already yours, that
it is “at hand” and you have only to take possession of it. Wallace D.
Wattles.
• The person who can sincerely thank God for the things which as yet
he owns only in imagination has real faith. He will get rich. He will
cause the creation of whatever he wants. Wallace D. Wattles.
• You have no right to use your will power upon another person, even
“for his own good”, for you do not know what is for his good. To get
rich, you need only to use your will power upon yourself. When you
know what to think and do, then you must use you will to compel
yourself to think and do the right things. That is the legitimate use of
the will in getting what you want – to use it in holding yourself to the
right course. Wallace D. Wattles.
• If you want to become rich, you must not make a study of poverty.
Things are not brought into being by thinking about their opposites.
Medicine as a science of disease has increased disease; religion as a
science of sin has promoted sin, and economics as a study of poverty
will fill the world with wretchedness and want…Get rich. That is the
best way you can help the poor. If you want to help the poor,
demonstrate to them that they can become rich. Prove it by getting
rich yourself. Wallace D. Wattles.
• Every person who becomes rich by competition knocks down the
ladder by which he rises, and keeps others down, but every person
who gets rich by creation opens a way for thousands to follow – and
inspires them to do so. Wallace D. Wattles.
• By thought, the thing you want is brought to you, by action you
receive it. When things reach you, they will be in the hands of others,
who will ask an equivalent for them. And you can only get what is
yours by giving the other person what is rightfully his. Wallace D.
Wattles.
• Do not wait for a change of environment before you act; get a change
of environment by action. You can so act upon the environment in
which you are now, as to cause yourself to be transferred to a better
environment. You can advance only by being larger than your present
place, and no one is larger than his present place who leaves undone
any of the work pertaining to that place. The world is advanced only
by those who more than fill their present places. Wallace D. Wattles.
• Do everything that you do in the firm conviction that you are an
advancing personality and that you are giving advancement to
everybody. Wallace D. Wattles.
• Do not wait for an opportunity to be all that you want to be. When an
opportunity to be more than you are now is presented and you feel
impelled toward it, take it. It will be the first step toward a greater
opportunity. Wallace D. Wattles.
• Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now.
You are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to
someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and
experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality. Wayne
Dyer.
• Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who
is Youer than You. Dr. Seuss.
• Without faith it is impossible to please God, and without faith it is
impossible for you to become great. The distinguishing characteristic
of all really great men and women is an unwavering faith. Wallace D.
Wattles.
• You must learn not to look upon the world as a lost and decaying
thing but as a something perfect and glorious which is going on to a
most beautiful completeness; and you must learn to see men and
women not as lost and accursed things, but as perfect beings
advancing to become complete. We must remember that this is not a
bad world but a good world in the process of becoming. Wallace D.
Wattles.
• Live a great life where you are, and in the daily work you have to do,
and greater works will surely find you out. Big things will come to
you, asking to be done. Wallace D. Wattles.
• Unless you think well of all the works of God you cannot really think
well of yourself, and unless you think well of yourself you can never
become great. You can move forward as you see God doing. You
have within yourself the source of every power. Wallace D. Wattles.
• The only service you can render to God is to give expression to what
he is trying to give the world, through you. The only service you can
render God is to make the most of yourself in order that God may live
in you to the utmost of your possibilities. Your first duty to God, to
yourself, and to the world is to make yourself as great a personality, in
every way, as you possibly can. And that, it seems to me, disposes of
the question of duty. Wallace D. Wattles.
• You should always love people and use money, rather than the
reverse! Bob Proctor.
• You should realize that people don’t feel comfortable about money
because they have it; they have it because they feel comfortable about
it. In other words, one of the reasons that wealthy people have money
is that they have developed that state of consciousness called

“prosperity consciousness”. Therefore, it follows, if we wish to attract
money to ourselves, we must begin to foster a prosperity
consciousness as well. Bob Proctor.
• You must begin to see money as an obedient, diligent servant, that
you can employ to earn more money, and that you can use to provide
services far beyond the service that you could ever physically provide.
Bob Proctor.
• Money is a servant; I am the master. Bob Proctor.
• The only competition you will ever have is with your own ignorance.

makes in their lives. Bob Proctor.

what is happening to you is what must happen to prepare you to
receive the good you desire. Bob Proctor.

Remember quality is not expensive, it’s priceless! Bob Proctor.
• LET GO AND LET GOD. Bob Proctor.
• Scientists will tell you that everything is energy. I choose to say that
everything is Spirit. Bob Proctor.
• Faith is the connecting link between God and You, and therefore, it is
your most valuable nonphysical possession. In truth, it is the
cornerstone to everything you will ever build or achieve during the
course of your entire lifetime. In fact, I would go so far as to say that
whatever you accomplish in your lifetime, will be in direct proportion
to the intensity and persistence of your faith. Bob Proctor.

the more critical it is to maintain access to the truth. Sheila Murray
Bethel.
• Don't trade integrity for status or power — it's a very poor bargain.
• Commitment is important at every stage of your leadership
development. It is that intangible ingredient you reach for, deep
inside, to help you through the tough times. It is the inner strength that
keeps you going when everyone else gives up. And total commitment
can create miracles. Faithfulness and persistence are the first two
ingredients of commitment. Action is the third ingredient that gives
the first two life. Sheila Murray Bethel.

• Someone with a prosperity consciousness thinks about money the
same way a farmer thinks about planting his crops. He looks at money
as a "seed" that will yield a harvest. He plants with total faith that each

harvested must be saved, replanted or provided to others to keep the

important for you the parent or the teacher to look for it. For whenever
you look inside a child’s eyes and see his or her genius, this child’s
genius is there to remind us all that we too have a geni-in-us. It is this
geni in all of us that brings the magic of life to life. Robert T.
Kiyosaki.

while the other six deal with our relationships with people. But all ten
are about relationships! ... After learning to love God (worship),
learning to love others is the second purpose of your life. Rick
Warren.
• Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount
of it. You can make more money, but you can’t make more time.

the greatest gift you can give someone is your time. Rick Warren.

use my energy and emotions for retaliation or for resolution? You
can’t do both. Rick Warren.
• Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don’t
understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness
is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior. Rick
Warren.
• When you work for peace, you are doing what God would do. That’s
why God calls peacemakers his children. Rick Warren.
• God wants unity, not uniformity. Rick Warren.

Barthel.
• Problems force us to look to God and depend on him instead of

ourselves. Rick Warren.
• Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more
difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and

pain or problem…Notice that God tells us to “give thanks in all
circumstances” not “for all circumstances”….Be patient and
persistent….Character building is a slow process. Rick Warren.
• You know you are maturing when you begin to see the hand of God in
the random, baffling, and seemingly pointless circumstances of life.

“What do you want me to learn?” Then trust God and keep on doing
what’s right….Don’t give up, grow up! Rick Warren.
• Every temptation is an opportunity to do good….Character
development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that
opportunity. Rick Warren.
• God uses the opposite situation of each fruit to allow us a choice. You
can’t claim to be good if you’ve never been tempted to be bad. You
can’t claim to be faithful if you’ve never had the opportunity to be
unfaithful. Integrity is built by defeating the temptation to be
dishonest. Rick Warren.
• Heaven has a twenty-four-hour emergency hot line. God wants you to
ask him for assistance in overcoming temptation. Rick Warren.
• You defeat bad thoughts by thinking of something better. This is the
principle of replacement. You overcome evil with good. Rick Warren.
• Every change involves a loss of some kind: you must let go of old
ways in order to experience the new. Rick Warren.
• You were put on earth to make a contribution. You weren’t created
just to consume resources – to eat, breathe, and take up space. God
designed you to make a difference with your life….In God’s kingdom,
you have a place, a purpose, a role, and a function to fulfill. This gives
your life great significance and value. Rick Warren.
• We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are

whatever he wants us to have out of his rich storehouse of gifts”. Rick
Warren.

• The delights of self discovery are always available. Gail Sheehy.
• Successful personalities have some interest in and regard for other

if they were human beings, rather than pawns in their own game. They
recognize that every person is a child of God and is a unique
• It is a psychological fact that our feelings about ourselves tend to

correspond to our feelings about other people. When a person begins
to feel more charitably about others, he invariably begins to feel more
charitably toward himself. The person who feels that “people are not
very important” cannot have very much deep-down self-respect and
self-regard – for he himself is “people” and with what judgment he
considers others, he himself is unwittingly judged in his own mind.
Maxwell Maltz.
• One of the best known methods of getting over a feeling of guilt is to
stop condemning other people in your own mind – stop judging them

develop a better and more adequate self-image when you begin to feel
that people are more worthy. Maxwell Maltz.
• Practice treating other people as if they had some value – and
surprisingly enough your own self-esteem will go up. For real self-
esteem is not derived from the great things you’ve done, the things
you own, the mark you have made – but an appreciation of yourself
for what you are – a child of God. When you come to this realization,
however, you must necessarily conclude that all other people are to be
appreciated for the same reason. Maxwell Maltz.

areas where you are ignorant. The first step toward becoming stronger
is the recognition that you are weak. And all religions teach that the

negative feedback data to correct course, as in any other goal-striving
situation. Maxwell Maltz.

reflex action. Maxwell Maltz.
• Forgiveness, when it is real and genuine and complete, and forgotten
– is the scalpel which can remove the pus from old emotional wounds,
heal them, and eliminate scar tissue. Maxwell Maltz.
• What we call “personality” is the outward evidence of that unique and
individual creative self, made in the image of God – that spark of
divinity within us – or what might be called the free and full

expression of your real self. Maxwell Maltz.
• In the final analysis, you always get paid for your results. Brian
Tracy.
• People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success
because they don't know when to quit. Most people succeed because
they are determined to. George E. Allen.
• A “crisis” is a situation which can either make you or break you. If
you react properly to the situation, a “crisis” can give you strength,
power, wisdom you do not ordinarily possess. If you react improperly,
a “crisis” can rob you of the skill, control, and ability that you
ordinarily have to call upon….The word “crisis” comes from a Greek
word which means, literally, “decisiveness,” or “point of decision.” A
crisis is a fork in the road. One fork holds a promise of a better
condition – the other of a worse condition. Maxwell Maltz.
