Zig Ziglar Quotes

Posted on December 8, 2011 by

You cannot perform in a manner inconsistent with the way you see yourself.

Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds.

Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.

If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.

When you respond to life, that’s positive; when you react to life, that’s negative.

Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don’t hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down.Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people.
