Earl Nightingale quotes about
You are now, and you do become, what you think about.
You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea.
There are times for all of us when all the laughter seems to be gone, but we should not permit these periods to last too long. When we've lost our sense of humor, there isn't very much left. We become ridiculous. We must then go to war against the whole world, and that's a war we cannot win.
Most people tiptoe their way through life, hoping they make it safely to death.
Now, if you want to get rich, you have only to produce a product or service that will give people greater use value than the price you charge for it. How rich you get will be determined by the number of people to whom you can sell the product or service.
You can control your attitude. Set it each morning.

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.
Our rewards in life will always be in direct ratio to our service.
Any person who contributes to prosperity must prosper in turn.
We are all creatures of habit. We can do most things without even thinking about them; our bodies take charge and do them for us.
Money is the harvest of our production and service. We in turn use it to obtain the production and service of others.
Just one great idea can completely revolutionize your life.
