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.

More quotes by Robert Collier
It is only when you despair of all ordinary means, it is only when you convince it that it must help you or you perish, that the seed of life in you bestirs itself to provide a new resource.
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
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
You have to sow before you can reap. You have to give before you can get.
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
All riches have their origin in mind. Wealth is in ideas - not money.
Robert Collier
Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.
Robert Collier
As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it! No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be, use it!
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
Any thought that is passed on to the subconscious often enough and convincingly enough is finally accepted.
Robert Collier
Start where you are. Distant fields always look greener, but opportunity lies right where you are. Take advantage of every opportunity of service.
Robert Collier
One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true or false.
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
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
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
First the stalk - then the roots. First the need - then the means to satisfy that need. First the nucleus -then the elements needed for its growth.
Robert Collier
Your belief that you can do the thing gives your thought forces their power.
Robert Collier
Visualize this thing you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin.
Robert Collier
Constant repetition carries conviction.
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.
