Food is a coping mechanism; people are afraid of giving it up because then they’ll feel confused and lost.

Now ask yourself if you’re really going to spend the rest of your life on one of those ridiculous diets. The honest answer is, no, you won’t. So, that means you might lose weight while you’re on it, but you’ll probably gain it back when you’re off it because you haven’t made any real lifestyle changes.

Successful weight loss takes programming, not willpower.

The most you get is what you ask for.

Learn when’s a good time to shut up.

An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.

People will try to fix world but world will fix people.

When people tell you not to believe in your dreams, and they say “Why?”, say “Why not?”

A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words… the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt.
