David J. Schwartz, fully David Joseph Schwartz
American Motivation Writer and Coach, best known as Author of "Thinking Big" and "The Magic of Getting What You Want"
"Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier – certainly no more difficult – than small ideas and small plans."
"Belief is the thermostat that regulates what we accomplish in life."
"The test of a successful person is not an ability to eliminate all problems before they arise, but to meet and work out difficulties when they do arise. We must be willing to make an intelligent compromise with perfection lest we wait forever before taking action. It's still good advice to cross bridges as we come to them. "
"To fight fear, act. To increase fear...wait, put off postpone."
