Citáty Og Mandino
„To, že jsem tady, má smysl. Tím smyslem je vyrůst v horu, ne se scvrknout na zrnko písku. Proto vynaložím veškerou svou snahu na to, abych se stal tou nejvyšší horou, a budu napínat síly svého potenciálu, dokud nebude křičet o milost.“
Originál: [(en) I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.]
„Ode dneška se chovejte ke každému, koho potkáte, jako by měl o půlnoci zemřít. Dejte mu všechnu péči, laskavost a pochopení, jakého jste schopni, a vůbec přitom nepřemýšlejte o jakékoli odměně. Váš život už nikdy nebude stejný.“
Originál: [(en) Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.]

„Henceforth I will look upon all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars.“

Kontext: Henceforth I will look upon all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness because it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness because it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards because they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles because they are my challenge.
I will greet this day with love in my heart.

I will act now.
