Woman was God’s second mistake.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

A fit body gives you confidence. And there’s nothing more impressive than a great attitude, which you can wear on your sleeve. But you’ll have to remember the difference between being rude and being confident.

What could I say to you that would be of value, except that perhaps you seek too much, that as a result of your seeking you cannot find.

You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.

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.

I give opinions, not advice.

There’s a deceptive sin that can keep us from walking in love: pride. It’s deceptive because when you have pride, you’re usually too proud to admit it. I know this because I used to have teachings on pride and they didn’t sell well.

Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.

The only cure for contempt is counter-contempt.

If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’re going to keep getting what we’re getting.

If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.

One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.

People who pity themselves think, ‚Why would I try to do anything? I’ll just fail.‘

I could never identify with that word, ‚weak.‘

I always make my dreams into goals.

I’m always attracted to people who interest me. They’ve got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They’re interested in people.

Tomorrow, every Fault is to be amended; but that Tomorrow never comes.

Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.

Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.

I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.

Sometimes you need faith and victory spoken over your life. Words have created power. When you receive them into your spirit, they can ignite seeds of increase on the inside.

Growing up, I decided, a long time ago, I wouldn’t accept any manmade differences between human beings, differences made at somebody else’s insistence or someone else’s whim or convenience.

The most important thing is to read as much as you can, like I did. It will give you an understanding of what makes good writing and it will enlarge your vocabulary.

The man who has done his level best… is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure.

I’m intimidated by the fear of being average.

We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‚to do‘ list.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Independence is a heady draught, and if you drink it in your youth, it can have the same effect on the brain as young wine does. It does not matter that its taste is not always appealing. It is addictive and with each drink you want more.

Never, never, never give up.

I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.

Most of one’s life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.

It is always your next move.

A man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.

Being self-made means never making an excuse as to why you can’t take steps toward whatever your goal is.

My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn’t dare do themselves.

Every action needs to be prompted by a motive.

If you’re living in your time, you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.

Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it.

Some people have a hard time getting rid of stuff. If that’s you, pray for God to give you the courage to get rid of things you don’t really need or things He wants you to give away. This will help keep your surroundings organized and clutter-free.

Perfectionists demand perfection from themselves first and foremost.

When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.

I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.

Listen; there’s a hell of a good universe next door: let’s go.

You can’t do it unless you can imagine it.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

I want to challenge you today to get out of your comfort zone. You have so much incredible potential on the inside. God has put gifts and talents in you that you probably don’t know anything about.

Love to everybody who is out there progressing and taking things to the next level.

Most of us aren’t defeated in one decisive battle. We are defeated one tiny, seemingly insignificant surrender at a time that chips away at who we should really be.
