Anthony Robbins

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

Look beyond the individual to the cause of his misery.

I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

Know people for who they are rather than for what they are.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.

If I were required to guess off-hand, and without collusion with higher minds, what is the bottom cause of the amazing material and intellectual advancement of the last fifty years, I should guess that it was the modern-born and previously non-existent disposition on the part of men to believe that a new idea can have value.

If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I’d type a little faster.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Life’s three best teachers: heartbreak, empty pocket, failures.

There can be no lasting peace where hatred exists. Hatreds will continue to arise as long as the causes of war are not rooted out and exposed.

I do not believe that material accumulation is the whole of success, and on the other hand I do not believe that true success ever excludes a sufficient possession of wealth-but wealth as a means, not as an end.

Instinct is probably the essence of past experience and knowledge stored up for later use. There are many, you know, who think that this life journey through the world is not the first one we have made. Haven’t you ever come across children who knew things that it was impossible for them to have learned? Have you ever gone to a place for the first time and felt sure that you had been there before? That’s one of the reasons I do not travel much.

I don’t know anybody so old he can’t do something useful. Just give them a chance and see.

You are your own most important resource for making your life work. Life rewards action. Until your knowledge, awareness, insights, and understandings are translated into action, they are of no value.
