Les Brown

You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.

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!

In today’’s rapidly changing world, the people who are not taking risk are the risk takers.

You are the architect of your own destiny; you are the master of your own fate; you are behind the steering wheel of your life. There are no limitations to what you can do, have, or be. Accept the limitations you place on yourself by your own thinking.

The more you can dream, the more you can do.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all.

The way to succeed is to double your error rate.

Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us, and a new beauty waiting to be born.

You must go forth into the world, with passion, courage in your conviction, and most importantly be true to yourself. I did it!

Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo.

Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.

If you don’t get out there and try to solve your own problems, it’s never going to change.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

Put all excuses aside and remember this: You are capable.

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Vision remains vision until you focus, do the work, and bring it down to earth where it will do some good.
