Zig Ziglar

Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.

With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity, you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

The problem with pity parties is very few people come, and those who do don’t bring presents.

It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.

A plan is always successful if the plan is good.

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

Reading has been the fuel of my motivation: it has changed the direction in which I have traveled, and it has enhanced my creative imagination more than any other activity I have ever pursued.

We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.

You can do it all. Don’t ever let anyone limit you. As long as you are authentic to you, do you.

There is little success where there is little laughter.

Yes, we can

Throw back the shoulders, let the heart sing, let the eyes flash, let the mind be lifted up, look upward and say to yourself, “Nothing is impossible!!!”

I don’t deserve this award, but I have arthritis and I don’t deserve that either.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

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

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities – always see them, for they are always there.

To be candid, some people have given positive thinking a bad name. I can’t stand to hear some gung-ho individual say that with positive thinking you can just do ‘anything.’ If you think about that one for a moment, you recognize the absurdity of it.

If you haven’t found it yet keep looking.

Sometimes a loss is the best thing that can happen. It teaches you what you should have done.

Real difficulties can be overcome; it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.
