Nelson Mandela

To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.

It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.

Appearances matter – and remember to smile.

Difficulties break some men but make others.

It is not where you start but how high you aim that matters for success.

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

We will either find a way or make one.

You will reap what you sow,’ rings true again. And you will be reaping it. A good thing to think about.

Every man loves what he is good at.

Goals enable you to do more for yourself and others, too.

Love gets unappreciated a lot of times, but you still gotta keep giving it

The person who dumps garbage into your mind will do you considerably more harm than the person who dumps garbage on your floor, because each load of mind garbage negatively impacts your possibilities and lowers your expectations.

You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations.

Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die.

Selling is essentially a transfer of feelings.

Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

The one thing coaches cannot tolerate… is the individual who grows arrogant because he excelled at a lower level and believes he has nothing else to learn.

For all the hard times and tough challenges I faced during different periods of my life, I think I was lucky or blessed or both. When things looked bleak, a good guide would appear to set me straight. Someone once asked me about the villains who got in my way, the bad guys who wanted to trip me up or take me out. I don’t remember any. Maybe it’s my nature to remember the good and forget the bad, or maybe it’s my destiny to lock onto the righteous for help.

I will work day after day like I did my whole life … I’m not going to change anything.

Building a better you is the first step to building a better America.

You are essentially who you create yourself to be and all that occurs in your life is the result of your own making.
