W. Clement Stone

Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman, not the attitude of the prospect.

Big doors swing on little hinges.

No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more than pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto.

If there is something to gain and nothing to lose by asking, by all means ask!

Events tend to recur in cycles…

Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman – not the attitude of the prospect.

Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.

The idea of perfection always gives one a chance to talk without knowing facts.

O Lord, help me not to despise or oppose what I do not understand.

Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath, no man manages his affairs as well as a tree. We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.

No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.

We are wiser than we know.

Prudence is an attitude that keeps life safe, but does not often make it happy.

All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was.

Democracy becomes a government of bullies tempered by editors.

Sir, you have but two topics, yourself and me. I am sick of both.

Every one goes astray, but the least imprudent are they who repent the soonest.

Begin, be bold and venture to be wise.

Today, you can decide to walk in freedom. You can choose to walk differently. You can walk as a free person, enjoying every step.

Children demand that their heroes should be freckleless, and easily believe them so: perhaps a first discovery to the contrary is less revolutionary shock to a passionate child than the threatened downfall of habitual beliefs which makes the world seem to totter for us in maturer life.

Poverty consist in feeling poor.
