will always be someone who has less. None of that matters. You need
to judge yourself by your goals and nothing else. Anthony Robbins.

day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new
knowledge. Any day we wish, we can start a new activity. Any day
we wish, we can start the process of life change. We can do it
immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if
the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we
can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment
over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The
choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue
to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is
not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by
our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to
make better choices beginning today. Jim Rohn.

become better, stronger, wiser, and more unique. Jim Rohn.

have to get better. Jim Rohn.

cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform
you in a moment and offer you more joy than any material possession
could. Barbara D’Angelis.
• A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of
those intensely right words…the resulting effect is physical as well as
spiritual, and electrically prompt. Mark Twain.

• If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity
to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning. Mahatma Gandhi.
• Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that
most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You
are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t see the world. There is
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel
insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We

liberates others. Marianne Williamson.

difference between real experience and one that is vividly and

both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought. Napoleon Hill.
• Success requires no apologies, failure permits no alibis. If the thing
you wish to do is right and you believe in it, go ahead and do it! Put

FAILURE BRINGS WITH IT THE SEED OF AN EQUIVALENT
SUCCESS. Napoleon Hill.

Whatever the scale, it is a powerful and magnetic leadership quality.
Missions make leaders different from other people. Missions are at the
very heart of the leadership/service ethic. Sheila Murray Bethel.

modest scale than those of world leaders, but they are equally

conditioned responses. When you examine these roadblocks, you can

which are as real as the vibrations manifesting light, heat, sound,
electricity and magnetism. That these vibrations are not evident to our
five senses is no proof that they do not exist…If we fully
comprehended the truth of the statement and the natural consequences
of the truth back of it, we should understand many things which have
appeared dark to us, and would be able to use the wonderful power,
Thought Force, just as we use any other manifestation of energy.
William W. Atkinson.
• Not only do our thought waves influence ourselves and others, but
they have a drawing power – they attract to us the thoughts of others,
things, circumstances, people, “luck” in accord with the character of
the thought uppermost in our minds…A strong thought or a thought
long continued, will make us the center of attraction for the
corresponding thought waves of others. Like attracts like in the
Thought World – as ye sow so shall ye reap. William W. Atkinson.
• Many of the “stray thoughts” which come to us are just reflections or
answering vibrations to some strong thought sent out by another. But
unless our minds are attuned to receive it, the thought will not likely
affect us…The man who believes thoroughly in himself and maintains

• Leaders that make a difference are 'big thinkers.' They know that
seeing things others can't see is not only a quality of leadership; it is a
responsibility. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• If you are a big thinker....you have faith in the desire of other people
to do well, to make a contribution, to have a meaningful life. You

them can make a world of difference in how they perform because
your faith acts as a catalyst to their courage. Sheila Murray Bethel.
• Big thinking always precedes big achievement. Sheila Murray Bethel.

true interests. The great task is to discover the laws of nature to which
we are to adjust ourselves. Charles F. Haanel.

thought is concentrated energy. Thought concentrated on a definite
purpose becomes power. Charles F. Haanel.

mind. In this way the conscious mind becomes the responsible ruler
and guardian of the subconscious mind. It is this high function which

thought as in the world of visible and material things. Mind is the
master weaver, both of the interior garment of character and the outer
garment of circumstance. James Allen.
• Relaxation is an absolute necessity in order to allow the mental
faculties to exercise the greatest freedom... The Solar Plexus will then
be ready to function and you will be surprised at the result. Charles F.
Haanel.
• Amid all the mysteries by which we are surrounded, nothing is more
certain than that we are ever in the presence of an Infinite and Eternal
Energy from which all things proceed. Herbert Spender.
• We cannot give unless we get; we cannot be helpful unless we are
strong. The Infinite is not bankrupt and we who are the representatives
of the Infinite power should not be bankrupts either, and if we wish to
be of service to others we must have power and more power, but to
get it we must give it; we must be of service. The more we give the
more we shall get; we must become a channel whereby the Universal
can express activity. The Universal is constantly seeking to express
itself, to be of service, and it seeks the channel whereby it can find the

• Truth invariably destroys error. We do not have to laboriously shovel
the darkness out; all that is necessary is to turn the light on. Charles F.
Haanel.

of accomplishing an end. Success is contingent upon a higher ideal
than the mere accumulation of riches, and he who aspires to such
success must formulate an ideal for which he is willing to strive.
Charles F. Haanel.
• Remember that fundamentally the subconscious is omnipotent; there
is no limit to the things that can be done when it is given the power to
act. Your degree of success is determined by the nature of your desire.
If the nature of your desire is in harmony with Natural Law or
Universal Mind, it will gradually emancipate the mind and give you
invincible courage. Charles F. Haanel.
• If you wish to eliminate fear, concentrate on courage. If you wish to
eliminate lack, concentrate on abundance. If you wish to eliminate
disease, concentrate on health. Charles F. Haanel.
• I believe people should study a little bit every day. It should become
habitual, like brushing your teeth, combing your hair, having a shower
or getting dressed. Study the mind, the laws of the universe and
paradigms. There's enough information on those subjects to keep a
person studying forever. I believe people should study a little bit every

Maya Angelou.
• Get around the right people. Associate with positive, goal-oriented
people who encourage and inspire you. Brian Tracy.
• The spirit of you is you; without the spirit you would be nothing. It
becomes active through your recognition of it and its possibilities…
The one and only condition of spiritual power is use or recognition.
When you begin to perceive that the essence of the Universal is within
yourself – is you – you begin to do things; you begin to feel your
power; it is the fuel which fires the imagination; which lights the torch
of inspiration; which gives vitality to thought; which enables you to

connect with all the invisible forces of the Universe. It is this power
which will enable you to plan fearlessly, to execute masterfully…And
when we learn to recognize it, not only in ourselves, but in all persons,
events, things and circumstances we shall have found the “Kingdom
of Heaven” which we are told is “within” us…Spiritual Power is the
mightiest force in existence. Charles F. Haanel.
• When the individual mind touches the Universal Mind it receives all
the power it requires. This is the world within. Therefore, the more
conscious we become of our unity with the source of all power, the
greater will be our power to control and master every condition.
Charles F. Haanel.
• Everything in the Universe is what it is by virtue of its rate of
vibration. Change the rate of vibration and you change the nature,
quality and form. The vast panorama of nature, both visible and
invisible, is being constantly changed by simply changing the rate of
vibration, and as thought is vibration we can also exercise this power.
We can change the vibration and thus produce any condition which
we desire to manifest in our bodies. Charles F. Haanel.
• We make money by making friends, and we enlarge our circle of
friends by making money for them, by helping them, by being of
service to them. The first law of success than is service and this in

• Spirituality is the most “practical” thing in the world – the only really
and absolutely “practical” thing that there is! Charles F. Haanel.

the spirit is really, all there is of us. Charles F. Haanel.
• Man is the master of thought, the molder of character, and the maker
and shaper of condition, environment, and destiny. James Allen.
• Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and
growing the flowers and fruits which he requires so may a man tend
the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless and impure
thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of
right, useful and pure thoughts. James Allen.
• As a progressive and evolving being, man is where he is that he may
learn that he may grow; and as he learns the spiritual lesson which any
circumstance contains for him, it passes away and gives place to other
circumstances. James Allen.

along the way. Stephen C. Paul.

permit us to use powers that we now are not even capable of
imagining. Frederick Tilney.
• Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have
more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so
they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You
must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order
to have what you want. Margaret Young.
• A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by
yourself. Joel Arthur Barker.
• The manager administers; the leader innovates. The manager has a
short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on
the horizon. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges
it. Warren Bennis.

act of choice and therefore sacred, then life is a sacred dance lived
consciously each moment. When we live at this level, we participate
in the creation of a better world. Scout Cloud Lee.
• You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live
long enough to make them all yourself. Sam Levenson.
• We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. Loretta
Scott.
• Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we
believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we
perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends
upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe
determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our
reality. Gary Zukav.
• Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry with me, for
every man is a mirror. We see only ourselves reflected in those

them, for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind. Failure makes
people bitter and cruel. W. Somerset Maugham.
• Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability
did not exist. We are collaborators in creation. Pierre Teilhard de
Chardin.
• Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to
complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by
what is deepest in themselves. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
• Circumstances do not make the man; they merely reveal himself to
himself. Epictetus.

Jesus was man becoming God. Eric Butterworth.
• God can only do for you what He can do through you. Eric

more in and through you. Therefore it wants you to have all the things
you can use. It is the desire of God that you should get rich. Wallace
D. Wattles.
• You can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make
the most of yourself. Wallace D. Wattles.
• But remember that extreme altruism is no better and no nobler than
extreme selfishness; both are mistakes. Get rid of the idea that God
wants you to sacrifice yourself for others and that you can secure his
favor by doing so. God requires nothing of the kind. What God wants
is that you should make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for
others. And you can help others more by making the most of yourself
than in any other way. Wallace D. Wattles.
• You must get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not
to compete for what is already created. You must never think for a
moment that the supply is limited. Wallace D. Wattles.
• You cannot give everyone more in cash market value than you take
from him, but you can give him more in use value than the cash value
of the thing you take from him. Give everyone more in use value than
you take from him in cash value. Then you are adding to the life of the
world by every business transaction. Wallace D. Wattles.
• First, you believe that there is one intelligent substance, from which
all things proceed. Second, you believe that this substance gives you
everything you desire. And third, you relate yourself to it by a feeling
of deep and profound gratitude. The whole process of mental
adjustment and attunement can be summed up in one word: Gratitude.
You cannot exercise much power without gratitude, for it is gratitude
that keeps you connected with power. The grateful mind is constantly
fixed upon the best. Therefore it tends to become the best. It takes the
form or character of the best, and will receive the best. Also, faith is
born of gratitude. The grateful mind continually expects good things,
and expectation becomes faith. Wallace D. Wattles.
• If you were going to send a wireless message to a friend, you would
not send the letters of the alphabet in their order and let him construct
the message for himself, nor would you take words at random from
the dictionary. You would send a coherent sentence, one which meant
something. You must know what you want and be specific and
definite. The more clear and definite you make your picture then, and
the more you dwell upon it, bringing out all its delightful details, the
stronger your desire will be. And the stronger your desire, the easier it
www.valentino-salvato.com 75
The Treasury of Quotes, by Valentino Salvato. Version 4, June 2010.
will be to hold your mind fixed upon the picture of what you want.
Behind your clear vision must be the purpose to realize it, to bring it
out in tangible expression. And behind this purpose must be an
invincible and unwavering FAITH that the thing is already yours, that
it is “at hand” and you have only to take possession of it. Wallace D.
Wattles.
• The person who can sincerely thank God for the things which as yet
he owns only in imagination has real faith. He will get rich. He will
cause the creation of whatever he wants. Wallace D. Wattles.
• You have no right to use your will power upon another person, even
“for his own good”, for you do not know what is for his good. To get
rich, you need only to use your will power upon yourself. When you
know what to think and do, then you must use you will to compel
yourself to think and do the right things. That is the legitimate use of
the will in getting what you want – to use it in holding yourself to the
right course. Wallace D. Wattles.
• If you want to become rich, you must not make a study of poverty.
Things are not brought into being by thinking about their opposites.
Medicine as a science of disease has increased disease; religion as a
science of sin has promoted sin, and economics as a study of poverty
will fill the world with wretchedness and want…Get rich. That is the
best way you can help the poor. If you want to help the poor,
demonstrate to them that they can become rich. Prove it by getting
rich yourself. Wallace D. Wattles.
• Every person who becomes rich by competition knocks down the
ladder by which he rises, and keeps others down, but every person
who gets rich by creation opens a way for thousands to follow – and
inspires them to do so. Wallace D. Wattles.
• By thought, the thing you want is brought to you, by action you
receive it. When things reach you, they will be in the hands of others,
who will ask an equivalent for them. And you can only get what is
yours by giving the other person what is rightfully his. Wallace D.
Wattles.
• Do not wait for a change of environment before you act; get a change
of environment by action. You can so act upon the environment in
which you are now, as to cause yourself to be transferred to a better
environment. You can advance only by being larger than your present
place, and no one is larger than his present place who leaves undone
www.valentino-salvato.com 76
The Treasury of Quotes, by Valentino Salvato. Version 4, June 2010.
any of the work pertaining to that place. The world is advanced only
by those who more than fill their present places. Wallace D. Wattles.
• Do everything that you do in the firm conviction that you are an
advancing personality and that you are giving advancement to
everybody. Wallace D. Wattles.
• Do not wait for an opportunity to be all that you want to be. When an
opportunity to be more than you are now is presented and you feel
impelled toward it, take it. It will be the first step toward a greater
opportunity. Wallace D. Wattles.
• Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now.
You are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to
someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and
experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality. Wayne
Dyer.
• Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who
is Youer than You. Dr. Seuss.
• Without faith it is impossible to please God, and without faith it is
impossible for you to become great. The distinguishing characteristic
of all really great men and women is an unwavering faith. Wallace D.
Wattles.
• You must learn not to look upon the world as a lost and decaying
thing but as a something perfect and glorious which is going on to a
most beautiful completeness; and you must learn to see men and
women not as lost and accursed things, but as perfect beings
advancing to become complete. We must remember that this is not a
bad world but a good world in the process of becoming. Wallace D.
Wattles.
• Live a great life where you are, and in the daily work you have to do,
and greater works will surely find you out. Big things will come to
you, asking to be done. Wallace D. Wattles.
• Unless you think well of all the works of God you cannot really think
well of yourself, and unless you think well of yourself you can never
become great. You can move forward as you see God doing. You
have within yourself the source of every power. Wallace D. Wattles.
• The only service you can render to God is to give expression to what
he is trying to give the world, through you. The only service you can
render God is to make the most of yourself in order that God may live
in you to the utmost of your possibilities. Your first duty to God, to
yourself, and to the world is to make yourself as great a personality, in
www.valentino-salvato.com 77
The Treasury of Quotes, by Valentino Salvato. Version 4, June 2010.
every way, as you possibly can. And that, it seems to me, disposes of
the question of duty. Wallace D. Wattles.
• You should always love people and use money, rather than the
reverse! Bob Proctor.
• You should realize that people don’t feel comfortable about money
because they have it; they have it because they feel comfortable about
it. In other words, one of the reasons that wealthy people have money
is that they have developed that state of consciousness called
“prosperity consciousness”. Therefore, it follows, if we wish to attract
money to ourselves, we must begin to foster a prosperity
consciousness as well. Bob Proctor.
• You must begin to see money as an obedient, diligent servant, that
you can employ to earn more money, and that you can use to provide
services far beyond the service that you could ever physically provide.
Bob Proctor.
• Money is a servant; I am the master. Bob Proctor.
• The only competition you will ever have is with your own ignorance.
Bob Proctor.
• Most religions teach that God is responsible for everything made in
this world and I would fully subscribe to this proposition. However, as
co-creators, human beings must bear responsibility for WHAT God
makes in their lives. Bob Proctor.
• Continue to hold the image of personal prosperity and understand that
what is happening to you is what must happen to prepare you to
receive the good you desire. Bob Proctor.
• Keep your mind on a higher image rather than a lower concern. Philip
Nacola.
• No amount of reading or memorizing will make you successful in life.
It is the understanding and application of wise thought which counts.
Understanding and application ate the keys which will unlock the door
to a truly abundant life. Bob Proctor.
• Be good to yourself. Treat yourself to the very best life has to offer.
Remember quality is not expensive, it’s priceless! Bob Proctor.
• LET GO AND LET GOD. Bob Proctor.
• Scientists will tell you that everything is energy. I choose to say that
everything is Spirit. Bob Proctor.
• Faith is the connecting link between God and You, and therefore, it is
your most valuable nonphysical possession. In truth, it is the
cornerstone to everything you will ever build or achieve during the

the school system looks for, but your child’s genius is there
nonetheless. And although the school system may not look for it, it is
important for you the parent or the teacher to look for it. For whenever
you look inside a child’s eyes and see his or her genius, this child’s
genius is there to remind us all that we too have a geni-in-us. It is this
