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
Now, success is not the result of making money making money is the result of success - and success is in direct proportion to our service. Most people have this law backwards.

Earl Nightingale
Your world and everything in it is a reflection of your own mental attitude toward yourself.
Earl Nightingale
Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.
Earl Nightingale
