More quotes by 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
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
The source and center of all man's creative power... is his power of making images, or the power of imagination.
Robert Collier
Visualize this thing you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin.
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

Supply always comes on the heels of demand.
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
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

Robert Collier
Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.
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
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
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
Any thought that is passed on to the subconscious often enough and convincingly enough is finally accepted.
Robert Collier
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Robert Collier
As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it! No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be, use it!
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
Everything in God's store is on the bottom shelf...you have to get on your knees to get it.
