One of the things I’ve told men over and over and over and over is if you’re being rejected by all the women that you approach, it’s not the women!

Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him.

You not supposed to feel down over whatever happen to you. I mean, you’re supposed to use whatever happen to you as some type of upper, not a downer.

Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.

Whatever woman may cast her lot with mine, should any ever do so, it is my intention to do all in my power to make her happy and contented; and there is nothing I can imagine that would make me more unhappy than to fail in the effort.

A friend in power is a friend lost.

I have a family, loving aunts, and a good home. No, on the surface I seem to have everything except my one true friend. All I think about when I’m with friends is having a good time. I can’t bring myself to talk about anything but ordinary everyday things. We don’t seem to be able to get any closer, and that’s the problem.

All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.

Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man’s happiness really lies in contentment.

Bring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so.

I thank God I’m myself and for the life I’m given to live and for friends and lovers and beloveds, and I thank God for knowing that all those people have already paid for me.

If you want small changes in your life, work on your attitude. But if you want big and primary changes, work on your paradigm.

Get busy living, or get busy dying.

People always tell you, ‚Be humble. Be humble.‘ When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!

What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance.

Watch out for the joy-stealers: gossip, criticism, complaining, faultfinding, and a negative, judgmental attitude.

It is necessary to fall in love… if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.

Most of the people that I deal with are human. So I’ve had a lot of experience with that.

Many a man’s strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.

Sure, I can get a little bit jealous. The good part about jealousy is that it comes from passion. It’s also the dangerous part and it’s an ugly emotion that hurts.

I mean, families are weird.

Whenever you’re going through a tough time, generally, you become more compassionate, you become softer, you become more thoughtful, kinder. These are all spiritual qualities that will help you to align yourself with God and God consciousness rather than with a split fear-based consciousness.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‚I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.‘

Whoever doesn’t know it must learn and find by experience that ‚a quiet conscience makes one strong!‘

The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they’re gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you’re going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home.

We must, all of us, learn actually not to have enemies, but only confused adversaries who are ourselves in disguise.

I don’t want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy.

The beginning of compunction is the beginning of a new life.

I will never be happy without having someone. Going to sleep alone kills me.

Be of love a little more careful than of anything.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.

Find people who will make you better.

It’s important for me to let my fans know I really don’t care. I’m confident.

Stand a little less between me and the sun.

To create something you must be something.

There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.

My whole thing now is I know how to think properly to be successful in all aspects of my life. It’s not about ultra running or being a SEAL or pull-up records: it’s about if you want to be better you, have to change your perceived limitations and take the barriers down.

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.

If you’ve got a talent, protect it.

I was never a boy magnet at school. There was always the girl all the guys liked and wanted to date, but it was never me.

Passions are vices or virtues to their highest powers.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance.

I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am.

I know what I believe, I know what I want to do, and I’m just comfortable saying it, and laying it out there.

Transforming yourself into a deep listener will not only prove more amusing as you open your mind to their mind, but you will gain the most invaluable lessons about human psychology.

Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.

Lovers often invest their first meetings with retrospective significance, as if to try to conjure the elements of the numinous out of the stubborn witness of the everyday.

Trying to meet new women, it’s always a little more difficult as opposed to calling somebody I knew that’s single and trying to rebuild that connection.

I want to do a certain thing in the world, and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration. I am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies.

I mean we all need a second chance sometimes.

I purposely don’t talk about money, because people are already skeptical about TV preachers. But I do say that I want you to be blessed. To me, prosperity is having health, having great children, having peace, good relationships. It’s not about the money.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.

And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren’t any other people living in the world.

Anything you’re good at contributes to happiness.
