W. Clement Stone

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

Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying.

Self-suggestion makes you master of yourself.

To solve a problem or to reach a goal, you don’t need to know all the answers in advance. But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach.

You. too, can determine what you want. You can decide on your major objectives, targets, aims, and destination.

Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.

The avarice person is ever in want; let your desired aim have a fixed limit.

The more I see the less I know for sure.

People ignore the thing they have the most power over. I know so many people who will go to a protest and do something big on an issue. But they won’t deal with that issue in their home.

We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.

It happened once that a youth and a maiden beheld each other in a public assembly for the first time

The universe is wider than our views of it.

One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

Nothing astonishes people so much as common sense and plain dealing.

Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.

It is wonderful when a calculation is made, how little the mind is actually employed in the discharge of any profession.

Curiosity is, in great and generous minds, the first passion and the last.

Only that day dawns to which we are awake.

Man – a creature made at the end of the week’s work when God was tired.

Man was born to be rich, or grow rich by use of his faculties, by the union of thought with nature. Property is an intellectual production. The game requires coolness, right reasoning, promptness, and patience in the players.

Our necessities are few, but our wants are endless.
