More quotes by Og Mandino
The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each but in the amount of intelligent work.
Og Mandino
With no goals, no priorities, no life strategy of our own, we drift with the herd through an endless meadow of mediocrity, unable to break loose, to achieve even a small part of the dreams we once cherished.
Og Mandino
And I leave you now, not with sadness but with satisfaction and joy that we came together and walked, arm in arm, through this brief moment of eternity. Who could ask for more?
Og Mandino
Victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.
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
Always strive to make the next hour better than this one.
Og Mandino
Never, in all of the seventy billion humans who have walked this planet since the beginning of time has there been anyone exactly like you. Never, until the end of time, will there be another such as you. You have shown no knowledge or appreciation of your uniqueness. Yet, you are the rarest thing in the world.
Og Mandino
Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all.
Og Mandino
What is past is past. You can do nothing about yesterday and last month and the failures of last year, but you can do everything toward making tomorrow and the rest of your life what you always dreamed it could be.
Og Mandino
A day merely survived is no cause for celebration.
Og Mandino
Today.....I begin a new life.
Og Mandino
The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them.
Og Mandino
Why do we continue to breed little minds who can find no recompense for their own failures other than to belittle and mock the talents, even the dress, of others? When will everyone realize that we are all equal in the eyes of God?
Og Mandino
Wealth, my son, should never be your goal in life. Your words are eloquent but they are mere words. True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse.
Og Mandino
If I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.
Og Mandino
Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
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
I will persist. I will always take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another.
Og Mandino
Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.
Og Mandino
Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.
