L. Ron Hubbard Quotes

You cannot continue to succeed in the world or have a fulfilling life in the world unless you choose to use your life in the service somehow to others and give back what you have been given. That's how you keep it. That's how you get it. That's how you grow it.

Success must include two things: the development of an individual to his utmost potentiality and a contribution of some kind to one's world.

Make yourself necessary to the world, and mankind will give you bread.

The man who is successful is the man who is useful.

Fame is worth less than service.

What is important - what I consider success - is that we make a contribution to our world.

Again the greatest use of a human was to be useful. Not to consume, not to watch, but to do something for someone else that improved their life, even for a few minutes.

All success consists in this: You are doing something for somebody - benefiting humanity - and the feeling of success comes from the consciousness of this.

The goal in life is the same as in basketball: make the effort to do the best you are capable of doing--in marriage, at your job, in the community, for your country. Make the effort to contribute in whatever way you can. You may do it materially or with time, ideas, or work. Making the effort to contribute is what counts. The effort is what counts in everything.

You have to do something. If you do something, you become somebody. Even a daffodil does something, has a profession. It gives off scent, professionally.

To actually feel like you've done something good with your life and you're useful to others is what I was always wanting, and was always looking for.

You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.
