Earl Nightingale quotes about
Don't take the attitude of waiting for people to be nice to you - be nice to them. Don't sit in front of a cold stove waiting for the heat. Put in the fuel. Act first.
Am I motivated by what I really want out of life - or am I mass-motivated?
If you don't have a good model for success, just look at what everybody else is doing and do the opposite.
Courage changes things for the better...[With courage you can] stay with something long enough to succeed at it, realizing that it usually takes two, three or four times as long to succeed as you thought or hoped.
Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.
A person who does not read is no better than one cannot read.
There is no limit on earnings.
We've got to be of service first before we can expect money.
If the grass is greener on the other side it`s probably getting better care. Success is a matter of sticking to a set of common sense principles anyone can master.

Goals reflect your choice of destination.

He can do that several times. Even if our home burns down, we can rebuild it. But the things we got for nothing, we can never replace.
Don't catch the bad and infectious attitudes of others.
