Zig Ziglar

Money isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the ‘gotta have it’ scale.

Selling is something we do for our clients – not to our clients.

Time well spent results in more money to spend, more money to save, and more time to vacation.

Stop selling. Start helping.

Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining – it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn’t solve any problems.

Go as far as you can see and you will see further.

A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.

Security represents your sense of worth, your identity, your emotional anchorage, your self-esteem, your basic personal strength or lack of it.

I once dieted so religiously I quit eating in church.

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation of success, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, and that people can only experience true success and enduring happiness as they learn and integrate these principles into their basic character.

Maybe I shouldn’t have these dreams and aspirations. Maybe I should have given up on life ten years ago and stopped fighting for my truth.

Throw back the shoulders, let the heart sing, let the eyes flash, let the mind be lifted up, look upward and say to yourself, “Nothing is impossible!!!”

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.

Be so good they can’t ignore you.

For all the hard times and tough challenges I faced during different periods of my life, I think I was lucky or blessed or both. When things looked bleak, a good guide would appear to set me straight. Someone once asked me about the villains who got in my way, the bad guys who wanted to trip me up or take me out. I don’t remember any. Maybe it’s my nature to remember the good and forget the bad, or maybe it’s my destiny to lock onto the righteous for help.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

Happiness is the ability to move forward knowing the future will be better than the past.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

When you encourage others, you in the process are encouraged because you’re making a commitment and difference in that person’s life. Encouragement really does make a difference.

Sometimes if you’re lucky someone comes into your life who’ll take up a place in your heart no one else can fill.
