Lack of planning is the cause of most failures.

And I love to speak - I am very good at it. And if you love to do something, you're very good at it, and also you are paid well, why would you not do it? Why would you stop?

Expect wonderful things to happen to you. Get up each morning and say; 'I believe something wonderful is going to happen to me today.'

Persistence is the measurement of your belief in yourself.

Don't be reluctant to give of yourself generously, it's the mark of caring and compassion and personal greatness.

If you think a certain thought long enough and hard enough, it becomes a fixed belief and you will find yourself behaving on the outside in a manner consistent with it.

I began writing books after speaking for several years and I realize that when you have a written book people think that you're smarter than you really are if I can joke. But it's interesting. People will buy your book and hire you without reading the book just because you have a book and you have a book on a subject that they think is of interest to themselves or e to their company.
