W. Clement Stone

We have a problem. Congratulations. But it’s a tough problem. Then double congratulations.

You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success – or are they holding you back?

I think there is something, more important than believing: Action! The world is full of dreamers, there aren’t enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision.

Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.

You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.

Regardless of who you are or what you have been, you can be what you want to be.

Wisdom begins in wonder.

O friend, never strike sail to a fear! Come into port greatly, or sail with God the seas.

Letting go is not giving up.

The momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.

Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices.

I could not find the world if I searched ten years. I’ve forgotten the road by which I came.

The perception of beauty is a moral test.

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.

Exploring the mysteries of myself and the world. Sensual, powerful, wise… on my path…

Tomorrow is an old deceiver, and his cheat never grows stale.

A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil that good may come of it.

The worst solitude is to have no real friendships.

The amount of people in this world who are here to do something great far outweighs the rest.

There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.

Perfect freedom is reserved for the man who lives by his work and in that work he does what he wants to do.
