Zig Ziglar

It’s absolutely true that unless you can instill discipline upon yourself, you will never be able to lead others.

Hope is the power that gives a person the confidence to step out and try.

When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

Where you start is not as important as where you finish.

Some people do really find fault like there’s a reward for it.

Lack of direction not lack of time is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.

Live your imagination, not your history.

Someone has defined genius as intensity of purpose: the ability todo, the patience to wait. Put these together and you have achievement.

Remember this: Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack the same courage to do what is right.

Go as far as you can see and you will see further.

Ability can take you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

At 25, I was in the audience of my first professional speaker, Bob Bales. His presentation got my attention. I had never seen anyone having so much fun ‘at work’ and getting paid for it!

Isn’t it amazing how much stuff we get done the day before vacation?

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.

Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.

People don’t buy for logical reasons. They buy for emotional reasons.

I have always said that everyone is in sales. Maybe you don’t hold the title of salesperson, but if the business you are in requires you to deal with people, you, my friend, are in sales.

All men are created equal. No matter how hard they try, they can never erase those words. That is what America is about.

If you are not willing to risk the usual you will have to settle for the ordinary.
