I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.
My life is my message.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.
Visualize this thing you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin.
That which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny. Be it through intention or ignorance, our successes and our failures have been brought on by none other than ourselves.
If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.
Don't mistake activity with achievement.
I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove.
Don’t count the days, make the days count.
Life is available only in the present moment.
I don’t really want to become normal, average, standard. I want merely to gain in strength, in the courage to live out my life more fully, enjoy more, experience more. I want to develop even more original and more unconventional traits.
There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.
If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.
Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.
Focus on making yourself better, not on thinking that you are better.
