Earl Nightingale

Earl Nightingale

Earl Nightingale

Earl Nightingale
Successful people are not people without problems. They are people who have learned to solve their problems.

Earl Nightingale
Excellence always sells.
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
How can I be of the greatest service doing that which I most enjoy doing?
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
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, 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
