Maxwell Maltz
Image
Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you're stalled, “standing still”.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Our self image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other.
Maxwell Maltz

It doesn't matter how many times you have failed.... What matters is the successful attempt.
Maxwell Maltz

Maxwell Maltz
Image
A human being always acts and feels and performs in accordance with what he imagines to be true about himself and his environment.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Live in the present. The past is gone the future is unknown - but the present is real, and your opportunities are now.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
One's capacity for friendship, which can be developed, is basic to one's capacity for happiness.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Functionally, a man is somewhat like a bicycle. A bicycle maintains its poise and equilibrium only so long as it's moving forward towards something.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Fully 95 percent of our behavior, feeling, and response is habitual.
Maxwell Maltz
Image
Faith, courage, optimism, looking forward, bring us new life and more life. Futility, frustration, living in the past are not only characteristic of 'old age' they contribute to it.

The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognise your own worth.
