Zig Ziglar

Husbands and wives, have fun with each other. I’m convinced it makes all the difference in the world.

When you are tough on yourself, life is going to be infinitely easier on you.

The problem is not getting rid of fear, but using it properly.

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

You were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.

Don’t count the things you do, do the things that count.

Last but not least, I would say you should have big dreams, full dreams, not half dreams. You know, it’s very simple. You can’t put a large box in a small box. Well, you cannot put a full life in a small dream box.

If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.

One thing a lot of people don’t know about me is that I’m a driver… I love driving.. I’m driven.

The world moves along at such a fast clip that we have little patience when things are slow, whether it’s the line at a supermarket or Internet access. We’ve become intolerant of those things that cannot be accelerated or skipped entirely. I can’t speed up the foundation work for a building, nor can I expect to play piano like Glenn Gould just because I want to.

If you don’t see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.

A productive employee who is kept busy working at his or her job is far more likely to be happy at that job and less likely to look for employment elsewhere.

Do more than you are being paid to do, and you’ll eventually be paid more for what you do.

The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.

It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.

Never blame anyone in your life. Good people give you happiness. Bad people give you experience. Worst people give you a lesson. And the best people give you memories.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

If at first you don’t succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.

Motivation gets you going and habit gets you there.

If you stop at general math, you’re only going to make general math money.

If you can eliminate all the other choices, the remaining choice, no matter how improbable, is the answer.
