Hillary Clinton Quotes

Success and happiness are not matters of chance but choice.

If you really want to make a change, just get up off your ass and do it.

Life's what you make it

People like to blame others. I think a person should just look at their own situation, look around them, find out what they wish to do, and seek and go and do that. And that's it.

If I'm not happy with what's going on, I try to change it myself.

If you're unhappy with your circumstances, then change them. Don't blame the government or your boss or the guy down the street who's better looking than you (exceptions include Hugh Jackman and George Clooney). Just take some Pepto-Bismol and be a man (or woman, for all of you bullish feminists).

My goal has always been to help people help themselves. Your body is your most priceless possession; you've go to take care of it!

From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do -- now.

The road to success, for me, was a long and arduous journey, strewn with obstacles and traps, pitfalls and hurdles-all created by myself. Painful as it is, I speak of those sad and frustrating times whenever I am invited to address sales gatherings, corporate conventions, and success rallies, in the hope that my personal experiences will serve as sufficient evidence for all who hear me that they have it in their own power to make their lives as glorious or as terrible as they choose.

I often feel like saying, when I hear the question 'People aren't ready,' that it's like telling a person who is trying to swim, 'Don't jump in that water until you learn how to swim.' When actually you will never learn how to swim until you get in the water. And I think people have to have an opportunity to develop themselves and govern themselves.

There are really only two ways to approach life - as victim or as gallant fighter - and you must decide if you want to act or react, deal your own cards or play with a stacked deck. And if you don't decide which way to play with life, it always plays with you.

Complaining about your current position in life is worthless. Have a spine and do something about it instead.

Beginning today, I will create a new future by creating a new me. No longer will I dwell in a pit of despair, moaning over squandered time and lost opportunity. I can do nothing about the past. My future is immediate. I will grasp it in both hands and carry it with running feet. When I am faced with the choice of doing nothing or doing something, I will always choose to act! I seize this moment. I choose now.

I think once a person realizes that they are every day either sowing into their life either potential success, or sowing into their life potential failure, they would all of a sudden go okay, I've got to figure out what I'm going to do.

It's time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.

Either you are creating your life or the circumstances are.

You can make your life whatever you want it to be

I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.

I do believe in self-help.

You focus on the things that you can control, and that's what I'm doing.

This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start to the top.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

I like motivational books, because I like the go-getting American spirit - your destiny is in your own hands, life is what you make it, don't accept your limitations, jump before you're pushed, leap before you look.
