Zig Ziglar

Outstanding people have one thing in common: An absolute sense of mission.

Wally Amos is the classic example of a man who gets up again and again.

You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.

Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining – it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn’t solve any problems.

Good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient and the best things come to those who don’t give up.

My favorite writers are all Jews – David, Solomon, Matthew, Mark – well, you get the picture.

I took up an offer for me to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. It worked. I lost 30 days!

Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity.

If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.

Fortune sides with him who dares.

Really good people like me are scared of falling off. I’m totally scared of falling off. Just imagine it. Just imagine if I woke up one day and I was wack. What would I do then?

The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave man…only five hundred.

Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you.

When you are truly interested in other people, you will learn what they are interested in and if they have a need for your product. If they like you, and most people like folks who take an interest in them, they’ll help you find people who do need what you have to sell, even if they don’t.

People do make their luck by daring to follow their instincts, taking risks and embracing every possibility.

You will have failures in your life, but it is what you do during those valleys that will determine the heights of your peaks.

Encouragement is the fuel on which hope runs.

When I thought I couldn’t go on, I forced myself to keep going. My success is based on persistence, not luck.

Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.

Make failure your teacher, not your undertaker.

The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation of success, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, and that people can only experience true success and enduring happiness as they learn and integrate these principles into their basic character.
