Just one great idea can completely revolutionize your life.

Some people act as if it were demeaning to their manhood to wish to be well-read but you can no more be a healthy person mentally without reading substantial books than you can be a vigorous person physically without eating solid food. Books should be chosen, not for their freedom from evil, but for their possession of good. Dr. Johnson said: "Whilst you stand deliberating which book your son shall read first, another boy has read both."

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.

Whenever we're afraid, it's because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.

People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be - whether they will admit that or not.

We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.

Our rewards in life will always be in direct ratio to our service.
