More quotes by 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
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

Earl Nightingale

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
All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord.
Earl Nightingale
You can control your attitude. Set it each morning.
Earl Nightingale
Everything you and I will ever have will come to us as the result of the way we use our minds, the one thing we possess that makes us different from all other creatures.
Earl Nightingale
Courage changes things for the better...[With courage you can] stay with something long enough to succeed at it, realizing that it usually takes two, three or four times as long to succeed as you thought or hoped.
Earl Nightingale
Your rewards in life are in direct proportion to your service
Earl Nightingale
