Earl Nightingale

Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

At the still-point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.

I’ve got to confess I’m a pragmatic optimist myself.

Just the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.

Management works in the system; Leadership works on the system.

Do it, and then you will feel motivated to do it.

New research shows that you will be dead longer than you will be alive.

The uniform, constant and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition … is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite both of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration … surmounting a hundred impertinent obstructions with which the folly of human laws too often encumbers its operations.

Some people do really find fault like there’s a reward for it.

If everything’s under control, you’re going too slow.

Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.

An undefined problem has an infinite number of solutions.

A person with a clear purpose will make progress on even the roughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress even on the smoothest road.

Hope will never be silent.
