Dr Phil McGraw

We are proud to have a platform through the Dr Phil show and the Dr. Phil Foundation to offer children the voice they need to meet their goals in having a better life.

You are writing your children’s future with your answers.

You are so much more than what people have done to you, and to let that define you, would be a tragedy.

The truth is, I think we are a self-less society, not a selfish society. Because we’re so busy now.

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, so you have got to create a new history.

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.

Spring is the time of plans and projects.

Whoever is happy will make others happy too.

Chaos is a friend of mine.

I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done.

If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it.

It’s just a matter of managing expectations. So for me, for example, you know, when your husband is President of the United States and you have children, something has got to give. I’ve made compromises in my life and my career, but I’ve also, in exchange, gained a wonderful platform to do some great work.

I have dined with kings, I’ve been offered wings. And I’ve never been too impressed.

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

Stupidity is the deliberate cultivation of ignorance.

I can’t understand why a person will take a year to write a novel when he can easily buy one for a few dollars.

Boredom: the desire for desires.

Don’t find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain.

It is true that I am often startled and even angered and repulsed by the strange directions and provocative content of new forms that seem to pop up every few months.
