“Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.”

“If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

“You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.”

“Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the 'gotta have it' scale.”

“Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds.”

“You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations.”

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

“Money won't make you happy... but everybody wants to find out for themselves.”

“Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.”

“You can make positive deposits in your own economy every day by reading and listening to powerful, positive, life-changing content and by associating with encouraging and hope-building people.”

“Success is dependent upon the glands - sweat glands.”
