More quotes by 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
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
The first principle of success is desire - knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed.
Robert Collier
Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.
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
Constant repetition carries conviction.
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
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
All motion is cyclic. It circulates to the limits of its possibilities and then returns to its starting point.
Robert Collier
Before you put pen to paper, before you ring for your stenographer, decide in your own mind what effect you want to produce on your reader — what feeling you must arouse in him.
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
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
Your belief that you can do the thing gives your thought forces their power.
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
You have to sow before you can reap. You have to give before you can get.
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
In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.
Robert Collier
Faith is the confidence, the assurance, the enforcing truth, the knowing.
Robert Collier
One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true or false.
Robert Collier
You can do anything you think you can. This knowledge is literally the gift of the gods.
