To be always intending to make a new and better life but never to find time to set about it is as to put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day to the next until you're dead.

More quotes by Og Mandino
Victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.
Og Mandino
I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart Yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due Yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
Og Mandino
Let your actions always speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress. The next time you are tempted to boast, just place your fist in a full pail of water, and when you remove it, the hole remaining will give you a correct measure of your importance.
Og Mandino
Only a habit can subdue another habit.
Og Mandino
My days of whining and complaining about others have come to an end. Nothing is easier than fault finding. All it will do is discolor my personality so that none will want to associate with me. That was my old life. No more.
Og Mandino
Pay less attention to what you hear about someone, and more to what you learn about them...as you make the effort.
Og Mandino
I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.
Og Mandino
No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!
Og Mandino
The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them.
Og Mandino
I'd rather learn how to prevent failure than how to gain success, because for what is success other than a state of mind?
Og Mandino
Always let your reach exceed your grasp.
Og Mandino
The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to achieving your dreams.
Og Mandino
And so long as I can laugh, never will I be poor. This then, is one of nature's greatest gifts and I will waste it no more.
Og Mandino
Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.
Og Mandino
Nothing is easier than fault finding.
Og Mandino
If I persist long enough I will win.
Og Mandino
Practice the art of patience for nature never acts in haste.
Og Mandino
I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action, good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day.
Og Mandino
Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat... Never take yourself too seriously.
Og Mandino
One of the great undiscovered joys of life comes from doing everything one attempts to the best of one's ability. The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement.
