Zig Ziglar

Courage is on display every day, and only the courageous wring the most out of life.

If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.

Since belief determines behavior, doesn’t it make sense that we should be teaching ethical, moral values in every home and in every school in America?

Time can be an ally or an enemy. What it becomes depends entirely upon you, your goals, and your determination to use every available minute.

You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

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?

By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

There is no dream you can’t achieve. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Courage is on display every day, and only the courageous wring the most out of life.

It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the do’er, the achiever – the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

I wasn’t satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

It was incredible because it was forced humility. Previously, I would’ve looked at humility as more of a negative thing.

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

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.

Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it’s better than no inspiration at all.

I’m a great believer in anything that makes you 1 percent better. So I try everything. Freudian. Jungian. Est. Life Spring. Course in Miracles. Twelve Steps. I have pain from time to time. I have joy from time to time.
