Robert H. Schuller

Let your hopes not your hurts shape your future.

Problems are not stop signs they are guidelines.

Again and again the impossible problem is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made.

Turn your scars into stars.

How we express ourselves in worship remains up in the air.

Tough times never last but tough people do.

Winning starts with beginning.

If you listen to your fears you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

A mission is a place where you ask nonbelievers to come and find faith and hope, and feel love.

Some people are at the top of the ladder some are in the middle still more are at the bottom and a whole lot more don't even know there is a ladder.

We all know that a church is not a building.

The Roman Catholic Church isn't going to change its theologies.

God flourished my ministry and my career of creative thinking communicating and writing back 50 years.

Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation.

Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly.

Most people who succeed in the face of seemingly impossible conditions are people who simply don't know how to quit.

Press on. Obstacles are seldom the same size tomorrow as they are today.

Today's accomplishments were yesterday's impossibilities.

Anyone can count the seeds in an apple but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.

It takes guts to get out of the ruts.

You never suffer from a money problem you always suffer from an idea problem.

Goals must never be from your ego but problems that cry for a solution.

The real minister's name that we honor is Jesus not Schuller.

I was called to start a mission not a church. There is a difference.

Never underestimate your problem or your ability to deal with it.

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.

High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly make big decisions quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true.

The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking.

You can often measure a person by the size of his dream.

The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.

I love my son and am proud of my son.

God's delays are not God's denials.

What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us. They are essential to really keep us alive.

My family and I would never receive royalties on the revenue that my materials brought into the church, materials that were created on our own personal time.

Every person is responsible for all the good within the scope of his abilities and for no more and none can tell whose sphere is the largest.

When you can't solve the problem manage it.

It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.

You will suddenly realize that the reason you never changed before was because you didn't want to.

If there exists no possibility of failure then victory is meaningless.

I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.

Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.

The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.

It is difficult to say what is impossible for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

Never bring the problem solving stage into the decision making stage. Otherwise you surrender yourself to the problem rather than the solution.

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Our greatest lack is not money for any undertaking but rather ideas If the ideas are good cash will somehow flow to where it is needed.

Life is but a moment death also is but another.

What appears to be the end of the road may simply be a bend in the road.
