Zig Ziglar

The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little.

Look back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion, and up with gratitude.

Every choice you make has an end result.

If you can dream it, then you can achieve it.

I’m convinced that what kids need today are parents – not buddies. They need someone who will exercise mature judgment.

People are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things – to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today.

Most people think small because they are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning.

Insisting on perfect safety is for people who don’t have the balls to live in the real world.

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

When I’m working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

Concentrated thoughts produce desired results.

Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.

Vision without action is daydream. Action without vision is nightmare.

Success is dependent upon the glands – sweat glands.

Sometimes Tina Fey is like a very talented bungee-jumping expert. All it takes Tina to softly say, ‘We can do this, right?’ and I suddenly feel like I can jump off a bridge.

When I became proficient as a salesman I was invited to teach new hires.

Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.

Some people make things happen, some people watch things happen, and some ask what happened.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream another dream.

The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for.

You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.
