“If your mental attitude is negative, if you complain and find fault with others, it will offset whatever you do, even if you do more than you are paid to do.”

“Keep your eyes and ears wide open— and your mouth closed, if you wish to acquire the habit of prompt decision.”

“Una de las mayores debilidades de la humanidad es la familiaridad del hombre promedio con la palabra “imposible”.

“A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.”

“Most illness begins with a negative mind.”

“success requires no apologies, failure permits no alibis.”

“Let us consider the power of FAITH, as it is now being demonstrated, by a man who is well known to all of civilization, Mahatma Gandhi, of India. In this man the world has one of the most astounding examples known to civilization, of the possibilities of FAITH. Gandhi wields more potential power than any man living at this time, and this, despite the fact that he has none of the orthodox tools of power, such as money, battle ships, soldiers, and materials of warfare. Gandhi has no money, he has no home, he does not own a suit of clothes, but HE DOES HAVE POWER. How does he come by that power? HE CREATED IT OUT OF HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH, AND THROUGH HIS ABILITY TO TRANSPLANT THAT FAITH INTO THE MINDS OF TWO HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE. Gandhi has accomplished, through the influence of FAITH, that which the strongest military power on earth could not, and never will accomplish through soldiers and military equipment. He has accomplished the astounding feat of INFLUENCING two hundred million minds to COALESCE AND MOVE IN UNISON, AS A SINGLE MIND. What other force on earth, except FAITH could do as much? There will come a day when employees as well as employers will discover the possibilities of FAITH. That day is dawning. The whole world has had ample opportunity, during the recent business depression, to witness what the LACK OF FAITH will do to business.” 

“Riches do not respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.”

“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE.”

“If you are influenced by the opinions of others, you will have no desire of your own.”

“success requires no apologies, failure permits no alibis.”

“el éxito no necesita disculpas, y el fracaso no acepta excusas”

“¡todos los logros, todas las riquezas obtenidas, tienen su comienzo en una idea!” 

“Every human being who reaches the age of understanding of the purpose of money, wishes for it. Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.” 

“Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”
