Famous Quotes:

  • If there is something to gain and nothing to lose by asking, by all means ask!
  • Self-suggestion makes you master of yourself.
  • You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success -- or are they holding you back?
  • The natural law of inertia: Matter will remain at rest or continue in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external force.
  • That's why many fail -- because they don't get started -- they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin.
  • Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.
  • Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance.
  • Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.
  • To solve a problem or to reach a goal, you don't need to know all the answers in advance. But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach.
