Zig Ziglar

Honesty and integrity are by far the most important assets of an entrepreneur.

Good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient and the best things come to those who don’t give up.

Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation.

It is true that integrity alone won’t make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one.

If my life has had a theme, I suppose it has been a typical American theme in that, for most of it, I have been looking for happiness and success.

Whether it’s eight o’clock in the morning or eight o’clock at night, I always try to greet others before they have a chance to speak to me.

All you need to be a success is ignorance and self confidence.

Better an ‘oops’ than a ‘what if’.

Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.

You either get bitter or you get better. It’s that simple. You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you.

The most important investment you can make is in yourself.

I like to keep mobile. It keeps my mind awake.

It takes a person who is wide-awake to make his dream come true.

Live your imagination, not your history.

There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.

Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

That, you have to leave your comfort zone.

A goal properly set is halfway reached.

The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment.

Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, ‘Make me feel important.’ Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life.

I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.
