A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

In reality, there is no such thing as a “should” or a “shouldn’t.” These are only thoughts that we impose onto reality. The mind is like a carpenter’s level. When the bubble is off to one side—“It shouldn’t be raining”—we can know that the mind is caught in its thinking. When the bubble is right in the middle—“It’s raining”—we can know that the surface level and the mind is accepting reality as it is. Without the “should” and “shouldn’t,” we can see reality as it is, and this leaves us free to act efficiently, clearly, and sanely. Asking “What’s the reality of it?” can help bring the mind out of its story, back into the real world.

The most effective way to live is as a warrior. A warrior may worry and think before making any decision, but once he makes it, he goes his way, free from worries or thoughts; there will be a million other decisions still awaiting him. That's the warrior's way.

"Oh, Little Blue Engine," cried the dolls and toys. "Will you pull us over the mountain? Our engine has broken down and the boys and girls on the other side won't have any toys to play with or good food to eat, unless you help us. Please, please, let us, Little Blue Engine." "I'm not very big," said the Little Blue Engine. "They use me only for switching trains in the yard. I have never been over the mountains." ... Puff, puff, chug, chug, went the Little Blue Engine. "I think I can--I think I can--I think can--I think can--I think I can--I think can--I think can--I think I can--I think can--I think can."

Thinking is the hardest and most exhausting of all labor; and hence many people shrink from it.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Clear writing, and therefore clear commands, comes from clear thinking. Think simple.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look at fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the think you think you cannot do.

A state of expectancy is a great assetl; a state of uncertainty--one moment thinking "perhaps" and the next moment thinking "I don't know"--will never get desired results.

Thought is cause: experience is effect. If you don't like the effects in your life, you have to change the nature of your thinking.

Don’t be deceived into thinking that by changing the external, the internal will be changed. It works the other way around. The path that needs changing is the one in your mind.
