Your philosophy of life shapes you more than anything else.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

A person must get a thing before they can forget it.

When the imagination and the will are in conflict, the imagination always wins.

The existence of forgetting has never been proved: we only know that somethings don’t come to mind when we want them.

Hear a piece of information and three days later you’ll remember 10% of it. Add a picture and you’ll remember 65%.

Isn’t it amazing how we take them for granted? Those little black marks on paper. Twenty-six different shapes known as letters, arranged in endless combinations, known as words, lifeless, until someone’s eye falls on them.

Learn to be silent. Let your quiet mind listen and absorb.

We need why power not willpower.

Argue for your limitations and, sure enough, they’re yours.

While there is a lower class I am in it; while there is a criminal element I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

In a full heart there is room for everything, and in an empty heart there is room for nothing.

The secret to living is giving.

The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for your whole life. And the most important thing is—it must be something you cannot possibly do.

He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away.
