Zig Ziglar

Make failure your teacher, not your undertaker.

Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining – it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn’t solve any problems.

The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little.

Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to ‘gamble’ on an unknown.

It will be disastrous when a leader or manager shows up with one attitude one day and treats people with a different attitude the next day.

It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.

Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken.

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to ‘gamble’ on an unknown.

It’s always good to be underestimated.

The most important thing in life is to love what you’re doing, because that’s the only way you’ll ever be really good at it.

Being productive gives people a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that loafing never can.

You must see your goals clearly and specifically before you can set out for them. Hold them in your mind until they become second nature.

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

Once the game is over, the King and the pawn go back in the same box.

We cannot start over, but we can begin now and make a new ending.

Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.

U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt has been described as founder of the Bull Moose Party, the man who led his troops up San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War, a big game hunter, family man, civic servant and a host of other things.

Do more than you are being paid to do, and you’ll eventually be paid more for what you do.

Yesterday ended last night. Today is a brand-new day.
