More quotes by Og Mandino
Many succumb to despair and fail without realizing that they already possess all the tools needed to acquire great wealth.
Og Mandino
... women have their roots in the ground, and often those roots are starved and ravaged, yet there is not a human alive who cannot reach and touch, with... her fingers, the very top of God's rainbow.
Og Mandino
Few things are necessary to make the wise man happy while no amount of material wealth would satisfy a fool. I am not a fool.
Og Mandino
Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.
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
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
The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what the task may be. This is a habit followed by all successful people since the beginning of time. Therefore I saith the surest way to doom yourself to mediocrity is to perform only the work for which you are paid.
Og Mandino
Practice the art of patience for nature never acts in haste.
Og Mandino
Always strive to make the next hour better than this one.
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
A field of clay touched by the genius of man becomes a castle.
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
All of us have been dying, hour by hour, since the moment we were born. Realizing this, let all things be placed in their proper perspective. . . . Remember, it is always later than you think.
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
You learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of hope.
Og Mandino
Nothing is easier than fault finding.
Og Mandino
Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.
Og Mandino
Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.
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
The master of a single trade can support a family. The master of seven trades cannot support himself. The wind is never for the sailor who knows not to what port he is bound.
