More quotes by Robert Collier
Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.
Robert Collier
Constant repetition carries conviction.
Robert Collier
The great thing is the start - to see an opportunity for service, and to start doing it, even though in the beginning you serve but a single customer - and him for nothing.
Robert Collier
The source and center of all man's creative power... is his power of making images, or the power of imagination.
Robert Collier
It is only through your conscious mind that you can reach the subconscious. Your conscious mind is the porter at the door, the watchman at the gate. It is to the conscious mind that the subconscious looks for all its impressions.
Robert Collier
You cannot hold on to anything good. You must be continually giving - and getting. You cannot hold on to your seed. You must sow it - and reap anew. You cannot hold on to riches. You must use them and get other riches in return.
Robert Collier
See things that you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need. Then let them come. Don't fret and worry about them. Don't think about your lack of them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession.
Robert Collier
You have to sow before you can reap. You have to give before you can get.
Robert Collier
One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true or false.
Robert Collier
Something must be done when you find an opposing set of desires of this kind well to the fore in your category of strong desires. You must set in operation a process of competition, from which one must emerge a victor and the other set be defeated.
Robert Collier
It is your work to clear away the mass of encumbering material of thoughts, so that you may bring into plain view the precious thing at the center of the mass.
Robert Collier
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Robert Collier
We can do only what we think we can do. We can be only what we think we can be. We can have only what we think we can have. What we do, what we are, what we have, all depend upon what we think.
Robert Collier
People blame their environment, their education, their opportunities, their luck, for their condition. They are wrong. There is one person to blame — and only one — THEMSELVES.
Robert Collier
Think of things not as they are, but as they might be. Don't merely dream- but create.
Robert Collier
Everything in God's store is on the bottom shelf...you have to get on your knees to get it.
Robert Collier
The first principle of success is desire - knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed.
Robert Collier
The great successful men of the world have used their imaginations.
Robert Collier
Faith is the confidence, the assurance, the enforcing truth, the knowing.
Robert Collier
You can do anything you think you can. This knowledge is literally the gift of the gods, for through it you can solve every human problem. It should make of you an incurable optimist. It is the open door.
Robert Collier
