Quotes by Maxwell Maltz

Maxwell Maltz

Our self-image strongly held essentially determines what we become.

If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.

Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not ones better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act.

You make mistakes. Mistakes dont make you.

Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.

We are built to conquer environment, solve problems, achieve goals, and we find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.

For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.

Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today.

The self-image is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior.

To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.

“You make mistakes, mistakes dont make you”
