Les Brown

Your smile will give you a positive countenance that will make people feel comfortable around you.

When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.

Your ability to communicate is an important tool in your pursuit of your goals, whether it is with your family, your co-workers or your clients and customers.

Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.

Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours.

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.

We must look for ways to be an active force in our own lives. We must take charge of our own destinies, design a life of substance and truly begin to live our dreams.

It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams.

A lot of people do not muster the courage to live their dreams because they are afraid to die.

You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change.

In day-to-day commerce, television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise, not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.

If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you.
