Earl Nightingale is a motivational speaker and one of the leading figures in personal development. As a former radio broadcaster, his talks and writings are found in many self-improvement libraries. Enjoy this video, which is one his top selling spoken word records “The Strangest Secret.” After the video, you can view my personal favorite quotes from the man himself.

“Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.”

“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.”

“People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.”

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

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

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

“Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.”

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

“Everything begins with an idea.”

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

“What’s going on in the inside shows on the outside.”

“Excellence always sells.”
