Harvey Mackay
Ideas without action are worthless.
Failures don't plan to fail, they fail to plan.
Don't water your weeds.
Make the second effort your second nature.
One mistake will never kill you. The same mistake over and over again will.
A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline.
Friends are made by many acts and lost by only one.
Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it, you can never get it back.
Many people may listen, but few people actually hear.
All the technology in the world will never replace a positive attitude.
It doesn't matter how much milk you spill as long as you don't lose the cow.
Hard work often leads to success. No work seldom does.
Good habits are as addictive as bad habits, and a lot more rewarding.
Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
Even when change is elective, it will disorient you. You may go through anxiety. You will miss aspects of your former life. It doesn't matter. The trick is to know in advance of making any big change that you're going to be thrown off your feet by it. So you prepare for this inevitable disorientation and steady yourself to get through it. Then you take the challenge, make the change, and achieve your dream.
Encouragement is oxygen to the soul.
Optimists are right. So are pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be.
Rough spots sharpen our performance. And more often than not, obstacles can be turned into advantages. You just can't let your disappointment get in the way.
Be like the turtle. If he didn't stick his neck out, he wouldn't get anywhere at all.
If you wish others to believe in you, you must first convince them that you believe in them.
Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning, they are an incentive to keep you going all day. Goals tend to tap the deeper resources and draw the best out of life.
Don't fall victim to your own melodrama. Keep things in perspective. The odds are that your problem is solvable. Address the solution and don't dwell on the problem to the point at which it paralyzes you.
Be like a postage stamp. Stick to it until you get there.
Don't wait for a funeral to pay a compliment. You may not make it in time.
People begin to become successful the minute they decide to be.
Deep down inside of all of us is the power to accomplish what we want to, if we'll just stop looking elsewhere.
You're as old as you behave.
