Zig Ziglar

If you want to earn more, learn more.

The world’s most deadly disease is hardening of the attitudes.

The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little.

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

All one needs to do is read – books, magazines, research the Internet – and pay attention to the influencers in their lives to discover the myriad people of strong moral character who have and still are making positive, meaningful contributions and differences in our world.

If you aim at nothing, you will hit every time.

But until a person can say deeply and honestly, ‘I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday’, that person cannot say, ‘I choose otherwise’.

Surround your mind with healthy thoughts, thoughts of faith, and not fear, and you will produce faith results instead of fear results.

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

A habit is like a cable: we weave a thread of it everyday, and at last we cannot break it – so we must form good, positive, and productive habits.

Remember there’s no such thing as an unrealistic goal, just unrealistic time frames!

Vision is not enough – it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.

Its kind of fun to do the impossible.

Encouragement is the fuel on which hope runs.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.

In the marathon of life, success calls for dedication to the goal, perseverance, compassion for my fellow man, and faith in God.

What you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

There is no substitute for hard work.

How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?

Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds.
