More quotes by Robert Collier
Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.
Robert Collier
Think of things not as they are, but as they might be. Don't merely dream- but create.
Robert Collier
All motion is cyclic. It circulates to the limits of its possibilities and then returns to its starting point.
Robert Collier
As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it! No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be, use it!
Robert Collier
All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck - who keeps right on going - is the man who is there when the good luck comes - and is ready to receive it.
Robert Collier
You must intensify and render continuous by repeatedly presenting with suggestive ideas and mental pictures of the feast of good things, and the flowing fountain, which awaits the successful achievement or attainment of the desires.
Robert Collier
The headline of an advertisement accounts for 60% of the pull of that ad. In the same way, the start of a letter makes or breaks the letter, because if the start does not interest your reader, he never gets down to the rest of your letter.
Robert Collier
Sooner or later comes a crisis in our affairs, and how we meet it determines our future happiness and success. Since the beginning of time, every form of life has been called upon to meet such crisis.
Robert Collier
Study your reader first - your product second. If you understand his reactions, and present those phases of your product that relate to his needs, then you cannot help but write a good letter.
Robert Collier
Any thought that is passed on to the subconscious often enough and convincingly enough is finally accepted.
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
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
Your belief that you can do the thing gives your thought forces their power.
Robert Collier
You can do anything you think you can. This knowledge is literally the gift of the gods.
Robert Collier
Constant repetition carries conviction.
Robert Collier
The great successful men of the world have used their imagination. They think ahead and create their mental picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building - steadily building.
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
The great successful men of the world have used their imaginations.
Robert Collier
Vision - It reaches beyond the thing that is, into the conception of what can be. Imagination gives you the picture. Vision gives you the impulse to make the picture your own.
Robert Collier
You have to sow before you can reap. You have to give before you can get.
