Earl Nightingale Quotes

Everything that's really worthwhile in life comes to us.

The big thing is that you know what you want.

What's going on in the inside shows on the outside.

Earl Nightingale Bio

As a Depression-era child, Earl Nightingale was hungry for knowledge. From the time he was a young boy, he would frequent the Long Beach Public Library in California, searching for the answer to the question, "How can a person, starting from scratch, who has no particular advantage in the world, reach the goals that he feels are important to him, and by so doing, make a major contribution to others?" His desire to find an answer, coupled with his natural curiosity about the world and its workings spurred him to become one of the world's foremost experts on success and what makes people successful.

Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.

Whenever we're afraid, it's because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.

We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.

Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.

Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people.

Any person who contributes to prosperity must prosper in turn.

All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord.

Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.

The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.

The Strangest Secret

The strangest secret was uncovered more than 40 years ago by world-renowned radio personality Earl Nightingale. Since then, over one million people in the world have found out what the secret is, and have used it to achieve the most extraordinary results.

You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own "acres of diamonds."

We tend to live up to our expectations.

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.

People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.

Get into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest, something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.

Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.

You'll find boredom where there is an absence of a good idea.

The Essence of Success

The late, Earl Nightingale spent nearly his whole life researching what is known as the “Essence of Success”. He is known as one of the greatest success philosophers and storytellers that have ever lived. This rare book of short stories teaches you how to develop an excellent attitude, enhance your self-esteem, foster your leadership skills, set and achieve goals, and harness your personal growth.

Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together.

Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.

The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career!

You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.

We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.

Excellence always sells.

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.

Everything begins with an idea.

Ideas are elusive, slippery things. Best to keep a pad of paper and a pencil at your bedside, so you can stab them during the night before they get away.

Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.

People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be - whether they will admit that or not.

Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.

Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.

We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
