Zig Ziglar Quotes

"You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win."

"Every sale has five basic obstacles: no need, no money, no hurry, no desire, no trust."

"It's not what you've got, it's what you use that makes the difference."

“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.”

“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude”

“You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.”

“Remember that failure is an event, not a person”

“People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.”

    One of my favorite Zig quotes, "When you put a man on the dole, you rob him of his dignity and steal his destiny"

    You and Jean have been such a wonderful example of Christian marriage and living. You shared your wisdom and friendship and for that we are forever thankful. God bless you on your special night and always. We love you both.

    What an outstanding individual and what a fantastic award to honor the life and ministry of Zig Ziglar. I hope everyone will put this date on their calendar and make arrangements to join in the inaugural celebration of Zig as well as the first recipient of this award - Mike Huckabee. In today's culture that celebrates athletes, music and movie stars, this is a celebration of something so completely different - a servant leadership award!

    You are an example of excellence and encouragement. Having taught your grand-daughter many years ago I was able to get an up close experience with your family. They radiate the joy of the Lord as you have taught them. Thank you for serving and helping others all of these years! Your life has impacted many.

    What a fitting honor to have an award named "servant leadership" after Mr. Ziglar. Thank you Zig, for your humble example. You are truly an inspiration. "Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude." -Zig Ziglar

    Having four grandchildren of my own, I always liked Zig's comment: "If I knew how much fun grandchildren were, I would have been nicer to my kids." Thanks for your service, faithfulness, and inspiration over the years. Blessings, Kurt
