Earl Nightingale

The big thing is that you know what you want.

Whenever we're afraid, it's because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.

Any person who contributes to prosperity must prosper in turn.

Excellence always sells.

You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own 'acres of diamonds.'

Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.

The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.

We tend to live up to our expectations.

Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.

Everything that's really worthwhile in life comes to us.

Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.

We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.

What's going on in the inside shows on the outside.

Get into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest, something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.

You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea.

The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.

Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.

We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.

You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.

Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.
