To discover new continents, you must be willing to lose sight of the shore.

Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true.

The more you discipline yourself to use your time well, the happier you will feel and the better will be the quality of your life in every area.

You can get control of your tasks and activities only to the degree that you stop doing some things and start spending more time on the few activities that can really make a difference in your life.

A goal that is not in writing is like cigarette smoke: It drifts away and disappears. It is vague and insubstantial. It has no force, effect, or power. But a written goal becomes something that you can see, touch, read, and modify if necessary.

Self-discipline is a great time-saver; it is the ability to make yourself work on only those things that are most important to you.

When you allow yourself to begin to dream big dreams, creatively abandon the activities that are taking up too much of your time, and focus your inward energies on alleviating your main constraints, you start to feel an incredible sense of power and confidence.
