Dr Phil McGraw

You are only as happy as your saddest child.

Some people prefer the passenger role, because it imposes no real pressure to decide or stand accountable for their life results.

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.

Relationships are negotiated and if you deal with ultimatums and authority all the time, then you’re not going to get anywhere.

It’s great if the in-laws themselves put up boundaries. But if they won’t; it’s up to their grown kids to do it and enforce them.

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.

What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

The men of always aren’t interested in the children of never.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.

It is not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that make horseraces.

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

All heiresses are beautiful.

Man is what he believes.

I didn’t just come in on a load of turnips!

Life is not an easy matter… You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.

A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

Love is kind, it’s clear. It’s effortless, and it’s irresistible.

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