Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.

Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.

Remember: your bosses prefer to keep you in dependent positions. It is in their interest that you do not become self-reliant, and so they will tend to hoard information. You must secretly work against this and seize this information for yourself.

Number of people have said to me, after hearing your thinking, their mind becomes much more happier.

They say somebody’s ‚street smart.‘ I feel like, if I got intelligence, it’s just a country smart.

God has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow!

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.

Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity.

Self-respect: the secure feeling that no one, as yet, is suspicious.

We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.

I’m not very ambitious at all.

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.

‚Worry‘ is a word that I don’t allow myself to use.

I give opinions, not advice.

Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.

We are often raised as dependents then given over to teachers. It’s experience and exploration that can transform us and lead to mastery.

Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.

I’m really trying to dredge up what one might call intellectual and moral material. For example, when do you realize that you are an American? What age does that happen to you? When do you realize what religion your parents practice? When does it all become conscious? I was interested in exploring all of that.

My rich dad believed we should all learn to take care of ourselves.

All cruelty springs from weakness.

Every spoken word arouses our self-will.

Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

One of the things I realized is that if you do not take control over your time and your life, other people will gobble it up. If you don’t prioritize yourself, you constantly start falling lower and lower on your list, your kids fall lower and lower on your list.

I am a good listener. I think that came from my schooling.

Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.

I don’t think I get angry.

Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself.

If you want to be successful, it’s just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.

It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.

The final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d rather not.

You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself.

I think it is the height of ignorance to believe that the sexual act is an independent function necessary like sleeping or eating. Seeing, therefore, that I did not desire more children, I began to strive after self-control. There was endless difficulty in the task.

That’s the biggest gift I can give anybody: ‚Wake up, be aware of who you are, what you’re doing and what you can do to prevent yourself from becoming ill.‘

Learn to think continentally.

We have to wake up. We have to refuse to be a clone.

You’re not a product of your nature. That is your genetic makeup or your nurture, the things that have happened to you. Of course those things affect you powerfully, but they do not determine you.

Become aware of your own insufficiency.

I’m a very strong believer in listening and learning from others.

I shouldn’t be near Vegas and have money in my pocket.

People have this capacity within them to set the world straight.

If you want to be a voice for peace in the world, begin by making peace a permanent condition of your own life.

Everybody wants to be me. What can I say?

Talking to a player helps, but in our sport the majority of learning happens from watching another player. You pick up things like being punctual, being nice to everyone, making sure you give your 100 per cent even in training.

Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.

Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

The big question about how people behave is whether they’ve got an Inner Scorecard or an Outer Scorecard. It helps if you can be satisfied with an Inner Scorecard.

You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best.

When I was 50 years old, I actually decided to draw up a list of half a dozen things that I really hadn’t done very well, and I was going to make efforts to improve. One of them was skiing, and I really did become a very much better skier.

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands.

I follow three rules: Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care.

Always remember that your calmness under fire is your best defense in any argument or discussion.

Mandela’s heroism is the heroism of a man who suffered so badly for what he thought of as freedom. And yet when he had the upper hand he has this incredible self-control and these incredible leadership qualities.

There are some people, you know, they think the way to be a big man is to shout and stomp and raise hell-and then nothing ever really happens. I’m not like that I never shoot blanks.

You don’t have to give way to careless speech or complaining. You don’t have to let your feelings get in the way of what God wants to do in your life.

Sometimes, it’s just easier to say yes to that extra snack or dessert, because frankly, it is exhausting to keep saying no. It’s exhausting to plead with our kids to eat just one more bite of vegetables.

Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.

It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants.
