~ Maxwell Maltz Quote
You make mistakes. Mistakes don't make you.
~ Maxwell Maltz Quote
We are injured and hurt emotionally, Not so much by other people or what they say and don't say, But by our own attitude and our own response.
~ Maxwell Maltz Quote
People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to ''look forward to'' / to work for and hope for.

~ Maxwell Maltz Quote
To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.
~ Maxwell Maltz Quote
What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live / with your self-respect alive and growing.
~ Maxwell Maltz Quote
Man maintains his balance, poise, and sense of security only as he is moving forward.
