Zig Ziglar

I’m constantly amazed that owners and managers of all businesses don’t train their people to call the person who pays by credit card by name. It definitely makes the customer feel good and will be a factor in bringing them back to your place of business.

Most people consider me an optimist because I laughingly state that I would take my last two dollars and buy a money belt.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

Every obnoxious act is a cry for help.

When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

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

Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy because of what you have.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

If you’re going to have to swallow a frog, you don’t want to have to look at that sucker too long!

If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

To learn and not to do is really not to learn. To know and not to do is really not to know.

Don’t be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Put all excuses aside and remember this: You are capable.

Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.

People can’t live with change if there’s not a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value.

Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

If you really believe it – go for it.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
