My favorite quote from the book is:
"To those who believe they are but tiny pebbles
At the bottom of the mountain, look again.
The truth be told: you are the entire mountain."
These lines just penetrated into my heart and soul and I was deeply moved. I think this is the most inspiring quote I have ever read.

Mine is “The tragedy of life is not death; rather, it is what we let die inside of us while we live”

This is one of the deepest quotes that I have come across in my life.

"You are today where your thoughts have brought you, you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you"

I kind of fell in love with this quote because it emphasizes extensively on the power of thoughts. Most of the quasi-psychological texts I've read emphasised on the power of the tongue but this quote shows that even the mind is more powerful.

What one thinks, reasons and imbues in one's mental structure is fundamental to one's development and progress in life.

My favorite quote is “Pay attention to what you're paying attention to”. I felt like the author was personally talking to me using this quote “Pay attention to what you're paying attention to” because paying attention can be a hard thing sometimes especially when you think you are paying attention.

"The tragedy of life is not death; rather, it is what we let die inside of us while we live” by Norman Cousins.

I feel like this quote really spoke to me because I know how it feels to have something die inside you, be it ambition, wants or dreams.

One quote I quite liked was the one attributed to Lao-Tzu, "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading."
This quote resonates as it is a great reminder of being proactive and deliberate about the direction you choose. If not, you may get to the end of your journey wondering how you got to a place you never intended to go.

For me, the best quote from this book is: "You Were Born to be Successful" This quote caught my attention because it gave me strength. The power of the fact that I am an important figure in my own life, and it is my decision whether I will be successful.

My favorite quote is: If you plan to be successful in life, “Being to Doing to Having” is the only way to go.

As a young innovator I am this is my favorite quote from this book because it sounds more than a motivation but also as a caution

My favourite quote in this book is "Your personality is your personal harp, from which you play your tunes. Your tunes contain your moods, your emotions, your feelings, and all those charming little quirks that make you you." I find this to be 100% true for me. Different people will bring out different aspects of ones personality. We are all unique in our own ways. So why not let your personality shine through. People will notice that and are attracted to that. For example, if you smile, they'll smile back and so forth. It's a rhythm in music. A smooth domino-effect as I see it. Always be yourself and express yourself. Your personality is a work of art, hence "playing your tunes".

My best quote from the book is : "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, and always ineffectiveness" - W.H. Murray. Once you commit, like a laser, Providence shows up from sources you can never imagine. I tried this after reading this book and it worked. Thanks.

I love this question. My favorite quote in this book was "The tragedy of life is not death; rather, it is what we let die inside of us while we live” by Norman Cousins. I wished this word won't leave my head. It really tutored me to do away the scorns of life. Live to impress yourself not others.

I remember after finished the book reading an interview in which the author mentions the Albert Einstein quote “ How you see the world depends upon where you’re standing.” This specially stuck with me because I think in modern times it’s easy to overlook just how much perspective impacts us all.
