Robert Collier
One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true or false.

Robert Collier

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
Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.
Robert Collier
Desire is proof of the availability.
Robert Collier
Everything in God's store is on the bottom shelf...you have to get on your knees to get it.
Robert Collier
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Robert Collier
The first principle of success is desire - knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed.
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
You have to sow before you can reap. You have to give before you can get.
