Earl Nightingale

Wherever there is danger there lurks opportunity, whenever there is opportunity there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together.

You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea.

We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.

We can let circumstances rule us or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.

Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.

Get into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at and the rest of the time thinking about.

Any person who contributes to prosperity must prosper in turn.

Everything that's really worthwhile in life comes to us.

Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.

A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds, it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

Everything in the world we want to do or get done we must do with and through people.

Our environment the world in which we live and work is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.

What's going on in the inside shows on the outside.

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.

Excellence always sells.

People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.

You are at this moment standing right in the middle of your own "acres of diamonds."

We are at our very best and we are happiest when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful so worthwhile.
