More quotes by Maxwell Maltz
Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk — and to act.
Maxwell Maltz
Science has now confirmed what philosophers, mystics, and other intuitive people have long declared: every human being has been literally engineered for success by his Creator. Every human being has access to a power greater than himself.
Maxwell Maltz
We, whoever we are, must have a daily goal in our lives, no matter how small or great, to make that day mean something.
Maxwell Maltz

Maxwell Maltz

Maxwell Maltz
Why not imagine yourself successful?
Maxwell Maltz
If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.
Maxwell Maltz
Self-improvement is the name of the game, and your primary objective is to strengthen yourself, not to destroy an opponent.
Maxwell Maltz
Of all the traps and pitfalls in life, self-disesteem is the deadliest, and the hardest to overcome: for it is a pit designed and dug by our own hands, summed up in the phrase, 'It's no use - I can't do it.'
Maxwell Maltz
Fully 95 percent of our behavior, feeling, and response is habitual.
Maxwell Maltz
When we consciously and deliberately develop new and better habits, our self image tends to outgrow the old habits and grow into the new pattern.
Maxwell Maltz
Ignore past failures and forge ahead.
Maxwell Maltz
Man maintains his balance, poise, and sense of security only as he is moving forward.
Maxwell Maltz
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have not goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in a striving toward an important goal.
Maxwell Maltz
We are injured and hurt emotionally, Not so much by other people or what they say and don't say, But by our own attitude and our own response.
Maxwell Maltz
When a person has adequate self-esteem little slights offer no threat at all - they are simply passed over and ignored. Even deeper emotional wounds are likely to heal faster and cleaner, with no festering sores to poison life and spoil happiness.
Maxwell Maltz
The un-happiest of mortals is that man who insists upon reliving the past, over and over in imagination - continually criticizing himself for past mistakes - continually condemning himself for past sins.
Maxwell Maltz
True success and true happiness not only go together but each other enhances the other.
Maxwell Maltz
A healthy strong ego, with plenty of self-esteem, does not feel itself threatened by every innocent remark.
Maxwell Maltz
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.
