“If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.”
“The first essentials, of course, is to know what you want.”
“Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself.”
“Any thought that is passed on to the subconscious often enough and convincingly enough is finally accepted.”
“Make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit. Make it work and produce for you. Think of things not as they are but as they might be. Don't merely dream - but create!”
“In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.”
“If you see yourself as prosperous, you will be. If you see yourself as continually hard up, that is exactly what you will be.”
“You cannot hold on to anything good. You must be continually giving - and getting. You cannot hold on to your seed. You must sow it - and reap anew. You cannot hold on to riches. You must use them and get other riches in return.”
“Faith is the confidence, the assurance, the enforcing truth, the knowing.”
“One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be dominating thought in one's mind.”
“People blame their environment. There is only one person to blame - and only one - themselves.”
“See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.”
“Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.”
“Constant repetition carries conviction.”
“One might as well try to ride two horses moving in different directions, as to try to maintain in equal force two opposing or contradictory sets of desires.”
“Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.”
“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print, and begin to build.”
“Supply always comes on the heels of demand.”
“Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.”
“Success is the sum of small efforts - repeated day in and day out.”
