“I don't think about what I'll get from someone else. Instead, all I care about is what I can give. And that, my friend, has made me a very happy man.”

“Every second you spend thinking about what you don't want in your life is a second denying focus and energy from getting what you do want. Every minute you worry about what's not working is a minute drawn away from creating what will work. And every hour spent reflecting on the disappointments of the past is an hour stolen from seeing the possibilities that your future holds.”

“What the society thinks is of no interest to me. All that's important is how I see myself. I know who who I am. I know the value of my work.”

“If your life is worth thinking about,it is worth writing about.”

“Within you lies the sun, the moon, the sky and all the wonders of this universe. The intelligence that created these wonders is the same force that created you. All things around you come from the same source. We are all one.Every being on this Earth, every object on this Earth has asoul. All souls flow into one, this is the Soul of the Universe. You see, John, when you nourish your own mind and your own spirit, you are really feeding the Soul of the Universe. When you improve yourself, you are improving the lives of all those around you. And when you have the courage to advance confidently in the direction of your dreams, you begin to draw upon the power of the universe. As I told you earlier, life gives you what you ask of it. It is always listening.”

“It's not what you will get out of the books that is so enriching - it is what the books will get out of you that will ultimately change your life”

“My love of books was all that saved me.”
