More quotes by Mary Kay Ash
Most of us die with our music underplayed...We should try to step out of our comfort zones and do the things we're capable of.

Mary Kay Ash
Don't let the negatives of life control you. Rise above them. Use them as your stepping stones to go higher than you ever dreamed possible

Remember, if you do the things you ought to do when you ought to do them, then someday you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them…Whatever you do or dream you can do—begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.

Believe in yourself and know that you can do anything in this world that you want to do if you want to do it badly enough and you are willing to travel the road. Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.
Mary Kay Ash
The greatest pollution problem we face today is negativity. Eliminate the negative attitude and believe you can do anything. Replace 'if I can, I hope, maybe' with 'I can, I will, I must.
Mary Kay Ash
I believe that there is no such thing as a subordinate. If the air-conditioning ceases to work in our building, then the repair technician becomes more important than the chairman of the board. We're all people working together toward a common objective.
Mary Kay Ash
Think in terms of what's good for the other person and success will seek you out.
Mary Kay Ash
Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don't keep it a secret.
Mary Kay Ash
Nothing wilts faster than a laurel rested upon.

We fall forward to succeed.
Mary Kay Ash
A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.
Mary Kay Ash
If you are an entrepreneur planning to start your own company, I can't think of a better place to begin than by operating your business by the Golden Rule. Make this a high priority never make a decision that contradicts the Golden Rule.
