Zig Ziglar

Take time to be kind and to say thank you.

It’s absolutely true that unless you can instill discipline upon yourself, you will never be able to lead others.

It is true that integrity alone won’t make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one.

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.

Be careful not to compromise what you want most for what you want now.

Only men of character are trusted.

There are no guarantees, but being ready sure beats being taken by surprise.

If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it.

Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings. And unexpressed feelings come forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.

Time management is really a misnomer; the challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves.

Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality.

Success is dependent upon the glands – sweat glands.

Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.

Yes, it’s absolutely true that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly – until you can learn to do it well.

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

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

Someday is not a day of the week.

True joy comes when you inspire, encourage, and guide someone else on a path that benefits him or her.

Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.

Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.

Americans never quit.
