W. Clement Stone, fully William Clement Stone

Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying .

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Tell everyone what you want to do and someone will want to help you do it.

When life hands you a lemon, squeeze it and make lemonade.

I feel happy! I feel healthy! I feel ter-r-r-ific!

That's why many fail -- because they don't get started -- they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin.

When our attitude towards ourselves is big, and our attitude toward other is generous and merciful, we attract big and generous portions of success.

I think there is something, more important than believing: Action! The world is full of dreamers, there aren't enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision.

The first great advantage is that your subconscious mind begins to work under a universal law: What the mind of man can conceive and believe- the mind can achieve. Because you visualize your intended destination, your subconscious mind is affected by this self-suggestion. It goes to work to help you get there.

When thinking won't cure fear, action will.

If there is something to gain and nothing to lose by asking, by all means ask!

The natural law of inertia: Matter will remain at rest or continue in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external force.

When we direct our thoughts properly, we can control our emotions.

If you are really thankful, what do you do? You share.

There is little difference in people but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

When you discover your mission, you will feel it's demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.

If you employed study, thinking, and planning time daily, you could develop and use the power that can change the course of your destiny.

There is very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude.

When you do the wrong thing, knowing it is wrong, you do so because you haven't developed the habit of effectively controlling or neutralizing strong inner urges that tempt you, or because you have established the wrong habit and don't know how to eliminate them effectively.

Keep your mind on your objective, and persist until you succeed. Study, think and plan.

There’s a great joy in my giving. It’s thrilling. It’s exhilarating. It’s important to be a part of sharing. It is my love. It is my joy.

Work now becomes fun. You are motivated to pay the price. You budget your time and money. You study, think, and plan. The more you think about your goals, the more enthusiastic you become. And with enthusiasm your desire turns into a burning desire.

Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.

Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.

You affect your subconscious mind by verbal repetition.
