Zig Ziglar

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Don’t be distracted by criticism. Remember – the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.

Where you start is not as important as where you finish.

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

Now’s the best time you’ll ever have in life to get ahead!

You are what you are and you are where you are because of what has gone into your mind. You change what you are and you change where you are by changing what goes into your mind.

I’m competitive, and I love to create challenges for myself. Maybe that’s not always a good thing. It can make life complicated.

Criticism is easier to take when you realize that the only people who aren’t criticized are those who don’t take risks.

Building a better you is the first step to building a better America.

New information makes new and fresh ideas possible.

Anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.

Being comfortable can hurt your creative entrepreneurial spirit.

True success has more components than one sentence or idea can contain.

If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.

If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.

U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt has been described as founder of the Bull Moose Party, the man who led his troops up San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War, a big game hunter, family man, civic servant and a host of other things.

You are the architect of your own destiny; you are the master of your own fate; you are behind the steering wheel of your life. There are no limitations to what you can do, have, or be. Accept the limitations you place on yourself by your own thinking.

If you haven’t found it yet keep looking.

You already have every characteristic necessary for success if you recognize, claim, develop and use them.

It will be disastrous when a leader or manager shows up with one attitude one day and treats people with a different attitude the next day.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
