“If we make good use of our minds, abilities and talents, this will become apparent in our outer lives. If we make the best use of our time, this too will give us a great advantage.” – Earl Nightingale
“Honesty is good business.” – Earl Nightingale
“The greatest joy a human being can know is the joy of accomplishment. Think how really great this joy becomes when we're making full use of our minds, our talents, and our abilities.” – Earl Nightingale
“Why wait to say ‘I wish I could do it all over again.’ Why not do it right the first time, for there may be no second chance.” – Earl Nightingale
“Do your work. Not just your work and no more, but a little more for the lavishing’s sake, that little more which is worth all the rest. And if you suffer, as you must, and if you doubt, as you must, do your work. Put your heart into it and the sky will clear and then out of your very doubt and suffering will be found the supreme joy of life.” – Dean Briggs
