Maxwell Maltz

"Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-brake on."

"We find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve."

Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have no goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in a striving toward an important goal.

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

We must have courage to bet on our ideas, to take the calculated risk, and to act.

Man maintains his balance, poise, and sense of security only as he is moving forward.

Worry is one of the most destructive scourges of mankind.

You can always find the sun within yourself if you will only search.

Realizing that our actions, feelings and behaviour are the result of our own images and beliefs gives us the level that psychology has always needed for changing personality.
