Zig Ziglar

Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to ‘gamble’ on an unknown.

I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.

The greatest cause of a poor image is the absence of unconditional love.

Try to look at your weakness and convert it into your strength.

He climbs highest who helps another up.

The great majority of people are wandering generalities rather than meaningful specifics. The fact is that you can’t hit a target that you can’t see. If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. You have to have goals.

In God we trust; all others bring data.

You are what you are and you are where you are because of what has gone into your mind. You change what you are and you change where you are by changing what goes into your mind.

Love gets unappreciated a lot of times, but you still gotta keep giving it

Don’t argue for other people’s weaknesses. Don’t argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it – immediately.

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

I will work day after day like I did my whole life … I’m not going to change anything.

What I really want out of life is to discover something new, something that mankind didn’t know was possible to do.

Take time to be kind and to say ‘thank you.’

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously and never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture!

Let your mind wander in the pure and simple. Be one with the infinite. Let all things take their course.

Most people go along with the crowd. They do things because everybody else does it.

Just remember, you can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

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

When I thought I couldn’t go on, I forced myself to keep going. My success is based on persistence, not luck.

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!
