W. Clement Stone

There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

If you employed study, thinking, and planning time daily, you could develop and use the power that can change the course of your destiny.

Bondage is… subjection to external influences and internal negative thoughts and attitudes.

So many fail because they don’t get started – they don’t go. They don’t overcome inertia. They don’t begin.

All I want to do is change the world.

Self-suggestion makes you master of yourself.

There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right.

What drives me to be who I am, to do all that I do, is not what words will be engraved for my epitaph. What drives me to be who I am, to do what I do, is not vanity, is not for adulation in the eyes of others. What drives me is my own desire to be better; to be happy. When I am dead and buried, the words above will not bring me back to life, I choose to live out my epitaph, and not just for it to be a collection of words someone has chosen to define me.

I always like people who have developed long and hard, particularly through introspection and a lot of dedication. I think that what they arrive at is, usually, deeper and more beautiful than the person who seems to have that ability and fluidity from the beginning.

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

Women are like tea bags. You never know how strong they are until they are in hot water.

I think that people just have this core desire to express who they are. And I think that’s always existed.

It is generally a feminine eye that first detects the moral deficiencies hidden under the dear deceit of beauty.

To every disadvantage there is a corresponding advantage.

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

The only sin that we never forgive in each other is a difference in opinion.

Women tell men things that they are not likely to find out for themselves.

Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.

The Public is merely a multiplied “me”.

Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.

This ain’t fun. But you watch me, I’ll get it done.
