Robin Sharma loves using a large number quotes of the world's great thinkers in his books. According to him,  "Great quote contains a wealth of wisdom in a single line.”

I have gathered all the best quotes(according to me) from this Book. They will give you a full insight of the Book's 101 lessons. 

"I call the habit of self – discipline “Tough Love” because getting tough  with yourself is actually a very loving gesture."

'English writer Thomas Henry Huxley arrived at  conclusion, noting: “Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought  to be done, whether you like it or  not.”'

'Aristotle,  “Whatever we  learn to do, we learn by actually doing it: men come  to be builders, for instance, by building, and harp players, by playing the harp. In  the same  way, by doing just acts we come  to be just; by doing self – controlled acts,  we come  to be self – controlled; and by doing brave acts, we come  to be brave.”'

'Mother Teresa said, “there should be less talk; a preaching  point is not a meeting point. What do you do then?  Take a broom  and clean someone’s house. That says enough.”'

'Booker T.  Washington said, “I have learned that  success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by  the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed.”'

' Hazrat Inayat Khan said, “The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.”'

'I go to the gym  – that’s my  temple. "In a sound body rests  a sound mind.” exercise will not only add life to your years, it could add years to your  life. One study of 18,000 Harvard alumni found that every hour spent on exercise added three hours of  the participant’s live.“Those who don’t make time for exercise must eventually make time  for illness.”'

'William James, the father of  modern psychology, observed, “We don’t laugh because we  are happy. We  are happy because we laugh.”'

'Life is  nothing more than a game  of numbers  – the more risks you take, the more rewards you will receive.” Or in the words of Sophocles, “Fortune  is not on the side of  the faint – hearted.”'

'Failure  is nothing more than learning how  to win.'

"The real secret to getting things done is knowing what things need to  be left undone."

'Management guru Peter Drucker said, “There  is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which  should not be done at all.”'

' Winston Churchill, who once said, “It helps to write down half a dozen things which are worrying me. Two of them, say, disappear; about two, nothing can be done, so it’s  no use worrying; and two perhaps can be settled.”'

'Anyone can become  angry – that’s easy.  But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not  easy,” taught Aristotle.'

'He who asks may be a fool for five minutes. He who doesn’t is a fool for a lifetime,” goes the wise  Chinese Proverb.'

'Norman Cousins once noted that “The Tragedy of life is  not death, but what we let die inside of us while we live.”'

'Ashley Montagu wrote that “The deepest personal  defeat suffered by human beings is constituted by the difference between what one was capable  of becoming and what one has in fact become.”'

'Christopher Morley said “Read every day something no one else is reading. Think every day something no one else is thinking. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.”'

We  run to pick it up as if our lives depended on the call being answered  at once. I have seen people interrupt quiet family dinners, dedicated reading times and meditation periods to  answer those seemingly urgent phone  calls, many of which turn out to be ones that could have been taken later."

"Recreation must  serve to re–create you."

"Take more pictures. Record the best times of your life. Collect photographs of the things that have made you smile or cry or appreciate the many blessings this  world provides. You might be surprised how good you will feel when you go through your albums years from now."
