But the value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting you more blessings in the future. Without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding things as they are.

The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.

If you have not consciously made the decision to be rich, excellent, and healthy, then you have unconsciously made the decision to be poor, mediocre, and unhealthy.

The grateful mind continually expects good things, and expectation becomes faith.

All you need is to know what you want, and to want it badly enough so that it will stay in your thoughts.

You are to become a creator, not a competitor; you are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it every other man will have more than he has now.

You already have within you everything you need to turn your dreams into reality.

Act now. There is never any time but now, and there never will be any time but now.

Become aware of and recognize fully the fact that the Principle of Power within you is God Himself. You must consciously identify yourself with the Highest.

To fix your attention on the best is to surround yourself with the best, and to become the best.

Abandon everything you have outgrown.

We are all sinners who have been saved by Grace. We have not been saved from sinning, but we have been redeemed despite it".~ R. Alan Woods [2012]

There's a difference between being politically incorrect and boorish. And we've seen that line crossed a dozen times by smart people who've mistaken politics for punditry.

In this ever-changing society, the most powerful and enduring brands are built from the heart.

I don't have to listen to anything you have to say.

Oh, God — the lives people try to lead. Oh, God — what a world they try to lead them in.

My father thought a novel was a broken short story. There's something to that. Many of my favorite novels are novellas. The authors of brief things must reckon with the precision of language.

I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.
