Here are a few of his quotes that will inspire the success you are already made to be. Enjoy!




Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.

Don't take tomorrow to bed with you.

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds.

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.

Four things for success: work and pray, think and believe.

Getting people to like you is merely the other side of liking them.

If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.



If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.

If you put off everything till you're sure of it, you'll never get anything done.

Imagination is the true magic carpet.

It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which, repeated frequently enough, becomes an automatic reflex.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence.



The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.



The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.

There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.



Understanding can overcome any situation, however mysterious or insurmountable it may appear to be.

When every physical and mental resources is focused, one's power to solve a problem multiplies tremendously.

When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.

Change yourself and your work will seem different.
