Earl Nightingale Night Quotations

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

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.

For a person to build a rich and rewarding life for himself, there are certain qualities and bits of knowledge that he needs to acquire.

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

Time can't be managed. I merely manage activities. Each night, I write down on a sheet of paper a list of the things I have to accomplish the next day. And when I wake up ... I do them.
