Zig Ziglar

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

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.

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.

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

Motivation gets you going and habit gets you there.

Timid salesmen have skinny kids.

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

It’s not the situation, but whether we react negative or respond positive to the situation that is important.

When you want to express yourself, a lot of times words can get in the way.

Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.

You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.

Timid salesmen have skinny kids.

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?

Our intentions create our reality.

An obstacle is often a stepping stone.

Do it, and then you will feel motivated to do it.

Your biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s getting too comfortable.

It takes no compromise to give people their rights … it takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give them freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression.

At the still-point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.

I believe in the Golden Rule. The Man with the Gold, Rules.

How about dreaming out loud? How about feeling that something can happen to make the world better and inspire people? Is that OK for one second?
