I will heighten my life by helping others heighten theirs.

Align yourself with people that you can learn from, people who want more out of life, people who are stretching and searching and seeking some higher ground in life.

The greatest revenge is massive success.

Most people fail in life not because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.

You don't have to be great to get started but you have to get started to be great.

It is better to aim high and miss than to aim low and hit.

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand.

No one rises to low expectations.

Our things are not overpriced. I have travelled a lot and I have seen prices of good garments sell for a lot overseas. For instance, overseas you will see linen pants for US250, but no one will buy a linen pants for that price out here. So I know that price is not the issue.

Somebody's going to get hurt because of it,

See yourself confronting your fears in your mind's eye and handling those fears like a champ.

If you don't stand up for something, you may fall for anything.

You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.

When you want something, you have to be willing to pay your dues.

Practice only makes for improvement.

Love yourself unconditionally, just as you love those closest to you despite their faults.

In the end, it is the person you become, not the things you have achieved, that is the most important.

Goals are not dreamy, pie-in-the-sky ideals. They have every day practical applications and they should be practical.

As you reach your goals, set new ones. That is how you grow and become a more powerful person.

Fear does not have any special power unless you empower it by submitting to it.

You gotta be hungry

You don't get in life what you want you get in life what you are.

Change is difficult but often essential to survival.

You have the power to change.

Forgive those who have hurt you.
