"My first professional job was to sell..." - Quote by Zig Ziglar

“There is power in words. What you say is what you get.”

“When you are tough on yourself, life is going to be infinitely easier on you.”

“You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life.”

“I've never had a "hankering" to direct. I can perform, but I can't write on that level. I tend to go off on tangents. Directing also requires a kind of specificity and I don't have it.”

“I started over again with an image: Nothing goes right. Then when The Godfather came out, all I heard was, Show respect. With me, you show respect. So I changed the image to I don't get no respect. I tried it out in Greenwich Village. I remember the first joke I told: Even as a kid, I'd play hide and seek and the other kids wouldn't even look for me. The people laughed. After the show, they started saying to me, Me, too - I don't get no respect. I figured, let's try it again.”

“I have no understanding as to why you wouldn't try to make what you're passionate about work for you.”

“A smart salesperson listens to emotions not facts.”

“Stop selling. Start helping.”

“I don't want to be on the other side of the table from the customer. I was never selling anything that I didn't believe in myself or use myself.”
