“Men credited with all kinds of ability, talent, brains and know how, including the ability to see into the future, frequently have nothing more than the courage to keep everlastingly at what they set out to do. They have that one great quality that is worth more than all the rest put together. They simply will not give up! When a man makes up his mind to do something then it's only a matter of time. Staying with time take bulldog persistence. This seems to be the entrance examination to success - lasting success -- of any kind!”
― Earl Nightingale
“We tend to live up to our expectations.”
― Earl Nightingale
Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.
― Earl Nightingale
You can predict a person?s future and divine his bank balance if you know two things: the books he reads, the people he associates with.
― Earl Nightingale
Watch what everyone else does--do the opposite. The majority is always wrong.
― Earl Nightingale
Achievement requires more than a vision - it takes courage, resolve and tenacity. All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality
― Earl Nightingale
Most people tiptoe their way through life, hoping they make it safely to death.
― Earl Nightingale
The paradox is that exactly the reverse is true. Everything that’s really worthwhile in life came to us free; our minds, our souls, our bodies, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends and country. All these priceless possessions are free.
But the things that cost us money are actually very cheap and can be replaced at any time. A good man can be completely wiped out and make another fortune. He can do that several times. Even if our home burns down, we can rebuild it. But the things we got for nothing, we can never replace.
― Earl Nightingale
The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else.

In doing that which we most enjoy, we will probably make our most significant contribution to society, and the contribution we make to society determines our rewards.
― Earl Nightingale
Do, each day, all that can be done that day. You don't need to overwork-or to rush blindly into your work, trying to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible amount of time. Don't try to do tomorrow's-or next week's-work today. It's not so much the number of the things you do but the quality, the efficiency of each separate action that counts. . . . you need only to succeed in the small tasks of each day. This makes a successful day. With enough of these, you have a successful week, month, year-and lifetime.
― Earl Nightingale
Be positive, cheerful, grateful and expectant.
― Earl Nightingale
Ask yourself every morning, ‘how can I increase my service today?’
― Earl Nightingale
If you spend an extra hour each day of study in your chosen field you will be a national expert in that field in five years or less.
― Earl Nightingale
Getting along well with other people is still the world's most needed skill. With it...there is no limit to what person can do. We need people, we need the cooperation of others. There is very little we can do alone
― Earl Nightingale
Whatever the majority of people is doing, under any given circumstances, if you do the exact opposite, you will probably never make another mistake as long as you live.
― Earl Nightingale
These people get to the top because they have to, because inside them burns a dream too big, too ever present, too demanding to be denied.
― Earl Nightingale
Don't concern yourself too much with how you are going to achieve your goal - leave that completely to a power greater than yourself. All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord, and at the right time.
― Earl Nightingale
Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.
― Earl Nightingale
Excellence always sells.
― Earl Nightingale
Time can't be managed. I merely manage activities. Each night, I write down on a sheet of paper a list of the things I have to accomplish the next day. And when I wake up ... I do them.
― Earl Nightingale
Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.
― Earl Nightingale

― Earl Nightingale
All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.
― Earl Nightingale
Don't take the attitude of waiting for people to be nice to you - be nice to them. Don't sit in front of a cold stove waiting for the heat. Put in the fuel. Act first.
― Earl Nightingale
There is no limit on earnings.
― Earl Nightingale
If you don't have a good model for success, just look at what everybody else is doing and do the opposite.
― Earl Nightingale
We've got to be of service first before we can expect money.
― Earl Nightingale
Your rewards, all the years of your life, will be in precise proportion to your service. You are here to serve others, just as they serve you.
― Earl Nightingale
Now, if you want to get rich, you have only to produce a product or service that will give people greater use value than the price you charge for it. How rich you get will be determined by the number of people to whom you can sell the product or service.
― Earl Nightingale
If a person will spend one hour a day on the same subject for five years, that person will be an expert on that subject.

― Earl Nightingale
Instead of competing, all we have to do is create.
― Earl Nightingale
The only thing about a man that is a man is his mind.
― Earl Nightingale

― Earl Nightingale

― Earl Nightingale

to the prosperity and abundance that will come to you.
― Earl Nightingale
Successful people are dreamers who have found a dream too exciting, too important, to remain in the realm of fantasy. Day by day, hour by hour, they toil in the service of their dream until they can see it with their eyes and touch it with their hands.
― Earl Nightingale
Whenever we're afraid, it's because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.
― Earl Nightingale
Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.
― Earl Nightingale
Control your thoughts. Decide about that which you will think and concentrate upon. You are in charge of your life to the degree you take charge of your thoughts.
― Earl Nightingale
Shooting for the top will bring out the best that's in you.
― Earl Nightingale
Open your ears before you open your mouth, it may surprise your eyes!
― Earl Nightingale
It's never too late, for with a purpose, a worthy goal and a motivation to reach those upper layers on the pyramid, a person can travel further in a few years than he might otherwise travel in a lifetime.
― Earl Nightingale
Problems are challenges to creative minds. Without problems, there would be little reason to think at all.
― Earl Nightingale
A single thought can revolutionize your life as it did mine. A single thought can make you rich or it can land you in prison for the rest of your life.
― Earl Nightingale
You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own 'acres of diamonds.'
― Earl Nightingale
The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career!
― Earl Nightingale
How can I be of the greatest service doing that which I most enjoy doing?
― Earl Nightingale
No man can get rich himself unless he enriches others.
― Earl Nightingale
Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people. Every dollar we will ever earn must come from people. The person we love, and with whom we want to spend the rest of our life, is a human being with whom we must interact. Our children are individuals, each different from any other person who ever lived. And what affects them most is our attitude-the loving kindness they see and feel whenever we are around them. If you'll begin to develop and maintain an attitude that says yes to life and the world, you'll be astonished at the changes you'll see.
― Earl Nightingale
Successful people are not people without problems. They are people who have learned to solve their problems.
― Earl Nightingale
Success is not the result of making money; earning money is the result of success — and success is in direct proportion to our service.
― Earl Nightingale
Now, success is not the result of making money; making money is the result of success - and success is in direct proportion to our service. Most people have this law backwards. They believe that you're successful if you earn a lot of money. The truth is that you can only earn money after you're successful.
― Earl Nightingale
People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.
― Earl Nightingale
Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.
― Earl Nightingale

― Earl Nightingale
We can help others in the world more by making the most of yourself than in any other way.
― Earl Nightingale
Each of us creates his or her own life largely by our attitude.
― Earl Nightingale
We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.
― Earl Nightingale
The best way to help a man increase his output is to help build the man. Help him increase his stature as a man, and he will just naturally do better-on the job and off.
― Earl Nightingale
Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.
― Earl Nightingale
Everything that's really worthwhile in life comes to us free - our minds, our souls, our bodies, our hopes, our dreams, our intelligence, our love of family and friends and country. All of these priceless possessions are free.
― Earl Nightingale
All you have to do is hold your goal before you and everything else will take care of itself.
― Earl Nightingale
Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitude and expectations. If we feel that our environment could stand some improvement, we can bring about that change for the better by improving our attitude. The world plays no favorites. It's impersonal. It doesn't care who succeeds and who fails. Nor does it care if we change. Our attitude toward life doesn't affect the world and the people in it nearly as much as it affects us.
― Earl Nightingale
One thing a goal must do is fill us with positive emotion when we think about it. The more intensely we feel about a goal the more progressively we’ll move toward it.
― Earl Nightingale
The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers.
― Earl Nightingale
The amount of money we receive will always be in direct ratio to the demand for what we do; our ability to do it; and the difficulty in replacing us.
― Earl Nightingale
You can't get rich unless you EN-rich.
― Earl Nightingale
Every great accomplishment of mankind has been preceded by an extended period, often over many years, of concentrated effort.
― Earl Nightingale
That's the secret: be interesting. If you can't be interesting, shut up. There's nothing wrong with silence.
― Earl Nightingale
For a person to build a rich and rewarding life for himself, there are certain qualities and bits of knowledge that he needs to acquire. There are also things, harmful attitudes, superstitions, and emotions that he needs to chip away. A person needs to chip away everything that doesn't look like the person he or she most wants to become.
― Earl Nightingale
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.
― Earl Nightingale
It's difficult for people to come to the understanding that only a small minority of the people ever really get the word about life, about living abundantly and successfully. Success in the important departments of life seldom comes naturally, no more naturally than success at anything-a musical instrument, sports, fly-fishing, tennis, golf, business, marriage, parenthood, landscape gardening. But somehow people wait passively for success to come to them, living as other people are living in the unspoken, tacit assumption that other people know how to live successfully.
― Earl Nightingale
Throughout all history, the great wise men and teachers, philosophers, and prophets have disagreed with one another on many different things. It is only on this one point that they are in complete and unanimous agreement. We become what we think about
― Earl Nightingale
Strange and marvelous things will happen with constant regularity as you alter your life and begin living in harmony with the laws of the universe.
― Earl Nightingale
Most very successful people can remember that their success was discovered and built out of adversity of some kind. It's not the problems that beset us-problems are surprisingly pretty much the same for millions of others-it's how we react to problems that determines not only our degree of growth and maturity but our future success-and, perhaps, much of our health.
― Earl Nightingale
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now.
― Earl Nightingale
Don't catch the bad and infectious attitudes of others.
― Earl Nightingale
We become what we think about most of the time, and that's the strangest secret.
― Earl Nightingale
If honesty did not exist, it would have to be invented, as it is the surest way of getting rich.
― Earl Nightingale
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.
― Earl Nightingale
Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.
― Earl Nightingale
We can help others in the world more by making the most of yourself than in any other way. We must be the epitome-the embodiment-of success. We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become. We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.
― Earl Nightingale
Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.
― Earl Nightingale
We are all creatures of habit. We can do most things without even thinking about them; our bodies take charge and do them for us.
― Earl Nightingale
The strangest secret in the world is that you become what you think about.
― Earl Nightingale
We tend to live up to our expectations.
― Earl Nightingale
We tend to minimize the things we can do, the goals we can accomplish, and for some equally strange reason we think other people can accomplish things that we cannot. I want you to understand that that is not true. You have deep reservoirs of talent and ability within you that you can bring to the surface and achieve all that you desire
― Earl Nightingale
If we can augment our gift giving by giving more of ourselves to those we love, all the time and in various ways, we will have a good chance of helping them and ourselves live happier, better lives.
― Earl Nightingale
About 95% of people can be compared to ships without rudders. Subject to every shift of wind and tide, they're helplessly adrift. And while they fondly hope that they'll one day drift into a rich and successful port, you and I know that for every narrow harbor entrance, there are a 1,000 miles of rocky coastline. The chances against their drifting into port are 1,000 to one.
― Earl Nightingale
Mistakes are a natural part of growing up. They're to be expected and made light of. But children bloom like spring flowers under praise. They want so much to be noticed and appreciated, to excel and have that excellence noticed.
― Earl Nightingale
You become what you continually think about.
― Earl Nightingale
Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity.
― Earl Nightingale
But the 3% who have taken the time and exercised the discipline to decide on a destination and to chart a course sail straight and far across the deep oceans of life, reaching one port after another and accomplishing more in just a few years than the rest accomplish in a lifetime.
― Earl Nightingale
Your rewards in life are in direct proportion to your service
― Earl Nightingale
Security isn't what the wise person looks for; it's opportunity. And once we begin looking for that, we find it on every side. You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.
― Earl Nightingale
Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.
― Earl Nightingale
Some people act as if it were demeaning to their manhood to wish to be well-read but you can no more be a healthy person mentally without reading substantial books than you can be a vigorous person physically without eating solid food. Books should be chosen, not for their freedom from evil, but for their possession of good. Dr. Johnson said: "Whilst you stand deliberating which book your son shall read first, another boy has read both."
― Earl Nightingale
Men credited with all kinds of ability, talent, brains and know how, including the ability to see into the future, frequently have nothing more than the courage to keep everlastingly at what they set out to do. They have that one great quality that is worth more than all the rest put together. They simply will not give up! When a man makes up his mind to do something then it's only a matter of time. Staying with time take bulldog persistence. This seems to be the entrance examination to success - lasting success -- of any kind!
― Earl Nightingale
There are times for all of us when all the laughter seems to be gone, but we should not permit these periods to last too long. When we've lost our sense of humor, there isn't very much left. We become ridiculous. We must then go to war against the whole world, and that's a war we cannot win.
― Earl Nightingale
We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.
― Earl Nightingale
We may avoid the laws of man, but there are greater laws that can't be broken.
― Earl Nightingale
Don't wait for change. You change.
― Earl Nightingale
Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.
― Earl Nightingale
Most people think they want more money than they really do, and they settle for a lot less than they could get
― Earl Nightingale
To acheive happiness, we should make certain that we are never without an important goal.
― Earl Nightingale
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.
― Earl Nightingale
Successful people form the habit of doing what failures don't like to do. They like the results they get by doing what they don't necessarily enjoy.
― Earl Nightingale
You can control your attitude. Set it each morning.
― Earl Nightingale
With every adversity, there is an equal or greater gift. Keep looking for the gift.
― Earl Nightingale

When the days are too short, chances are you are living at your best.
