David J. Schwartz Famous Quotations

David J. Schwartz was a professor at Georgia State University, Atlanta, and was considered a leading American authority on motivation. He wrote his first best-selling book, The Magic of Thinking Big, in 1959. These famous quotes dealing with goals, achievement, and success have been attributed to him.

• Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier - certainly no more difficult - than small ideas and small plans.
• Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.
• Do what you fear and fear disappears.
• How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.
• In the large cities that received new Americans, there flowered a golden age of restaurants, manned by the available talent from abroad and fueled by the restless wealth of the newly rich.
• Look at things... as they can be.
• Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success doesn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never - yes, never - sell yourself short.
• The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: do more of what you do.
• There is a good side to every situation.
• Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.
• To fight fear, act. To increase fear - wait, put off postpone.
