James Dean

What shapes our lives are the questions we ask, refuse to ask, or never think to ask.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

The greatest source of happiness is the ability to be grateful at all times.

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously and never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture!

Thanks to emptiness, everything is possible.

Many great ideas go unexecuted, and many great executioners are without ideas. One without the other is worthless.

I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become.

No matter where you are in life, you’ll save a lot of time by not worrying too much about what other people think about you. The earlier in your life that you can learn that, the easier the rest of it will be.

If you can dream it, then you can achieve it.

All one needs to do is read – books, magazines, research the Internet – and pay attention to the influencers in their lives to discover the myriad people of strong moral character who have and still are making positive, meaningful contributions and differences in our world.

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

I was always scared to follow my dreams because if I follow my dreams and I fail, I can’t dream about it anymore. It’s easier to settle for less.

I quit therapy because my analyst was trying to help me behind my back.

Vision without action is daydream. Action without vision is nightmare.

When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.
