Thomas Shadwell

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.

Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.

Thinking expansively includes seeing what is possible and making it happen.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

The ability to manage well doesn’t make much difference if you’re not even in the right jungle.

It is better to inspire a reform than to enforce it.

You can succeed at almost anything for which you have unbridled enthusiasm.

Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.

Lack of direction not lack of time is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.

You can make just about anything of your life-anything you will believe or will visualize, anything you will pray for and work for. Look deeply into your mind. Amazing wonders are there. Whatever the situation may be, you can improve it.

Never put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after tomorrow.

When you make a promise, keep it.

The more goals you set, the more goals you get.

Most people think small because they are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning.
