W. Clement Stone

Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solves each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They keep going regardless of the obstacles they met.

Be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

All I want to do is change the world.

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

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.

Events tend to recur in cycles…

There is no such source of error as the pursuit of truth.

If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.

A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.

Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.

It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.

Truth is so hard to tell, it sometimes needs fiction to make it plausible.

It is a pleasure to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tost upon the sea: a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage ground of truth… and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below.

It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, ‘Go away, I’m looking for the truth.’ and so it goes away. Puzzling.

The truth knocks on the door and you say, Go away, I’m looking for the truth, and so it goes away. Puzzling.

For truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine.

There are only two ways of telling the complete truth–anonymously and posthumously.

It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.

Truth, Sir, is a cow which will yield such people no more milk, and so they are gone to milk the bull.

The bullsh*t is more interesting than the truth.

Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain’t so.
