1921-1989, American self-help author and motivational speaker

Here's the key to success and failure: We become what we think about.
Earl Nightingale

To achieve happiness, we should make certain that we are never without an important goal.
Earl Nightingale

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.
Earl Nightingale

Everything begins with an idea.
Earl Nightingale

Money cannot be sought directly. Like happiness, money is an effect. It is the result of a
cause, and the cause is valuable service.
Earl Nightingale

Successful people follow independent paths. They break away from the crowd. They join a
smaller crowd. They don't have the television on all the day long. They use their time
constructively. It's easier to win! There is less competition up there and the view is better.
Earl Nightingale

You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea.
Earl Nightingale

People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.
Earl Nightingale

Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.
Earl Nightingale

Books are a source of pleasure - the purest and the most lasting. They enhance your
sensation of the interestingness of life. Reading them is not a violent pleasure like the gross
enjoyment of an uncultivated mind, but a subtle delight.
Earl Nightingale

All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own
accord.
Earl Nightingale

People don't have great attitudes because of great success, they have great success largely
because of great attitudes.
Earl Nightingale

Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.
Earl Nightingale

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one
day become reality.
Earl Nightingale

Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.
Earl Nightingale

Man only uses a small percentage of his mental ability. Most people have never learned to
think creatively. They merely react to stimuli. Successful people are not people without
problems. They are people who have learned to solve their problems by thinking. Thinking
bridges the gap between our present point and our goals. 92% of our worries are useless. Of
the remaining 8%, half pertain to problems we can't solve and half to those we can solve if
we'll learn how.
Earl Nightingale

What do we mean by integrity? It means giving everything we do our very best. It means
being true to ourselves and with every other person with whom we come in contact. It gives
meaning and comfort to our leisure time.
Earl Nightingale

We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.
Earl Nightingale

Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people.
Earl Nightingale

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of
yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to
spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
Earl Nightingale

The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep
in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.
Earl Nightingale

Integrity is the seed for achievement. It is the principle that never fails.
Earl Nightingale

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your
doing it.
Earl Nightingale

Treat every person as the most important person on earth. To them, they are the most
important person. That's the way we ought to treat each other.
Earl Nightingale

Success does not come naturally. It requires the conscious utilization of ourselves in the
service of others.
Earl Nightingale

We can increase our value to the world. The amount of money we receive will always be in
direct ratio to the demand for what we do, our ability to do it, and the difficulty of replacing
us. A highly skilled person is worth more than a person who is not highly skilled.
Earl Nightingale
