If someone out there doesn’t agree with me, then somewhere a village is missing their idiot.

When you have the right script for your life, you will always be the star of the show.

Every one of us have things that we believe about ourselves when nobody else is looking, nobody else is listening, nobody else is monitoring what we’re doing. We believe things about ourselves.

Now ask yourself if you’re really going to spend the rest of your life on one of those ridiculous diets. The honest answer is, no, you won’t. So, that means you might lose weight while you’re on it, but you’ll probably gain it back when you’re off it because you haven’t made any real lifestyle changes.

Willpower is a myth. The problem with trying to use willpower to achieve and sustain a behavioral change is that it is fueled by emotion. And as we all know, our emotions are, at best, fickle. They come and go. When your emotions start running down — and they will — even your best-laid plans will fall flat.

What I want people to do is what’s healthy for them.

Now I’m a warrior.

I didn’t start a war. Nobody died.

Dream is not the thing what you see in sleep, dream is the thing that does not let you sleep.

In the end, you’re just a renter anyway. You only own these things for as long as you live. After that, who knows? If I live until I’m 80, I’ll have 30 more years of collecting. If the collection is big enough, I’ll build a museum. And if not, I’ll leave it to a museum.

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

If you believe, you will. If you don’t, you won’t.

We are proud to have a platform through the Dr Phil show and the Dr. Phil Foundation to offer children the voice they need to meet their goals in having a better life.

You need to face the pain and the fear and walk through the Grief.

I was brought up to be a gentleman. That means you know how to walk, talk and dress the part.

The quickest way to become troubled is to be concerned with what people say about your work.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will.
