OG MANDINO'S QUOTES 1


1 Success is a state of mind

2.   Failure is man’s inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be.

3.   The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits.

4.   Good habits are the keys to all success – I will form good habits and become their slaves.


5.   I must discipline myself with the first of my new habits.

6.   I will greet each day with love in my heart.


7.   I will make love my greatest weapon and name on whom I can defend against its force.

8.   Henceforth I will look on all things with love and I will be born again.


9.   I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.  I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the star.  I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul.  I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

10.   I will laud my enemies and they will become friends; I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers.  Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip.  When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.  

11.    I love all manner of men for each has qualities to be admired even though they be hidden.

12.    With love I will tear down the wall of suspicion and hate which they have built round their hearts and its place will I build bridges so that my love will enter they are souls.

13.  I will love the ambitious for they can inspire me!  I will love the failures for they can teach me.  I will love the kings for they are but human; I will love the meek for they are divine.  I will love the rich for they are yet lonely; I will love the young for the faith they hold; I will love the old for the wisdom they share.  I will love the ugly for their souls of peace.

14.               For just as love is the weapon to open the hearts of men.  Love is also a shield to repulse the arrows of hate and the spears of anger.  Adversity and discouragement will beat against my new shield and become as the softest of rains.  My shield will protect me in the market place and sustains me when I am alone.  It will left me in moment of despair yet it will calm me in time of execution.

15.                I will greet each day with love in my heart.  And how will I confront each whom I meet?

In only one way.  In silence and to myself I will address him and say I love you.  Though spoken in silence, these words will shine in my eyes, unwrinkled my brow, bring a smile to lips and echo my voice; and this heart will be opened.  And who is there who will say nay to my goods when he feels my love? 

16.                I will greet this day with love in my heart.  And most of all I will love myself.  For when I do I will zealously respect all things which enter my body, mind, my soul and my heart.  Never will I overindulge the requests of my flesh, rather I will cherish my body with cleanliness and moderation.

17.                 Never will I allow my mind to be attracted to evil and despair; rather I will uplift it with the knowledge and the wisdom of ages.  Never will I low my soul to be complacent and satisfied, rather, I will feed it with much meditation and prayer.  Never will I allow my heart to become small and bitter, rather I will share it and it will grow and warm the earth. 

18.                I will greet this day with love in my heart.  Henceforth will I love mankind.  From this moment all hate is left from my veins for I have no time to hate, only to love.  From this moment I take the first step to become a man among men. 

19.                With love I will increase my sales a hundredfold and become a great salesman.  If I have no other qualities I can succeed with love alone.  Without it I will fail though I possess all the knowledge and skills of the world.  I will greet this day with love and I will succeed.

I will persist until I succeed.  In the orient, young bulls are tested for the fight arena in a certain manner.  Each is brought to the ring and allowed to attack a picador who prick them with a lance.  The bravery of each bull is then rated with care according to the number of times he demonstrates his willingness to charge inspite of the string of the blades.

20.              Henceforth  will I recognize that each day I am tested by life in like manner.  If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward, I will succeed.  I will persist until I succeed.

21.              I was not delivered into this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins.  I am a lion and refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep.   I will bear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.  Let them join the sleep.  The slaughter house of failure is not my destiny.  I will persist until I succeed.

22.              The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, nor near the beginning and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary.  In order to reach any goal.  Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road.  Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.

23.              Henceforth, I will consider each day’s effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak.  The first blow may cause not a tremor in the word nor the second, nor the third.  Each blow, of itself maybe trifling, and seem of no consequence.  Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble.  So it will be of my efforts today.  I will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain, the slave who devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth, the slave who builds a small attempts, repeatedly will complete any undertaking.  I will persist until I succeed.
