― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“Forget about willpower. It's time for why-power. Your choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your desires and dreams. The wisest and most motivating choices are the ones aligned with that which you identify as your purpose, your core self, and your highest values. You've got to want something, and know why you want it, or you'll end up giving up too easily.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“In essence, you make your choices, and then your choices make you.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success

― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“The (Complete) Formula for Getting Lucky: Preparation (personal growth) + Attitude (belief/mindset) + Opportunity (a good thing coming your way) + Action (doing something about it) = Luck”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“Unsuccessful people carry their goals around in their head like marbles rattling around in a can, and we say a goal that is not in writing is merely a fantasy.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“Seek out positive people who have achieved the success you want to create in your own life. Remember the adage: “Never ask advice of someone with whom you wouldn’t want to trade places.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“Your biggest challenge isn’t that you’ve intentionally been making bad choices. Heck, that would be easy to fix. Your biggest challenge is that you’ve been sleepwalking through your choices.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.”

― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“We can all make powerful choices. We can all take back control by not blaming chance, fate, or anyone else for our outcomes. It’s within our ability to cause everything to change. Rather than letting past hurtful experiences sap our energy and sabotage our success, we can use them to fuel positive, constructive change.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“There’s nothing wrong with ordinary. I just prefer to shoot for extraordinary.”

― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“Since your outcomes are all a result of your moment-to-moment choices, you have incredible power to change your life by changing those choices. Step by step, day by day, your choices will shape your actions until they become habits, where practice makes them permanent.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“The dream in your heart may be bigger than the environment in which you find yourself. Sometimes you have to get out of that environment to see that dream fulfilled. It’s like planting an oak sapling in a pot. Once it becomes rootbound, its growth is limited. It needs a great space to become a mighty oak. So do you.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“Consistency is the key to achieving and maintaining momentum.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“You get in life what you create. Expectation drives the creative process. What do you expect? You expect whatever it is you're thinking about. Your thought process, the conversation in your head, is at the base of the results you create in life.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“When you've prepared, practiced, studied, and consistently put in the required effort, sooner or later you'll be presented with your own moment of truth. In that moment, you will define who you are and who you are becoming. It is in those moments where growth and improvement live--when we either step forward or shrink back, when we climb to the top of the podium and seize the medal or we continue to applaud sullenly from the crowd for others' victories.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success

“Earning success is hard. The process is laborious, tedious, sometimes even boring. Becoming wealthy, influential, and world-class in your field is slow and arduous.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“You reap what you sow; you can’t get out of life what you’re not willing to put into it. If you want more love, give more love. If you want greater success, help others achieve more. And when you study and master the science of achievement, you will find the success you desire.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“When you define your goals, you give your brain something new to look for and focus on. It’s as if you’re giving your mind a new set of eyes from which to see all the people, circumstances, conversations, resources, ideas, and creativity surrounding you.”
― Darren Hardy, quote from The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
“No matter what has happened to you, take complete responsibility for it—good or bad, victory or defeat. Own it. My mentor Jim Rohn said, “The day you graduate from childhood to adulthood is the day you take full responsibility for your life.”

“What good are laws that cannot be read or understood, or a tongue that spews only hatred or ignorance? What good is the written word to an illiterate man?”
― Delores Phillips, quote from The Darkest Child
“petal of FORGIVENESS, and pray, And forgive us for our errors and debts As we forgive ourselves and all others. Here you must list those who have harmed you, who have given ill witness against you, or who have otherwise caused you pain. And you must forgive them, while praying that they will one day be fully anthropos and realize their own connection to God and remember their own promise. You must ask that anyone you have offended forgive you in the same way, and most of all you must forgive yourself for all the actions and thoughts that have brought shame upon you in your human weaknesses. For while all forgiveness is the balm of our compassionate Mother, self-forgiveness is needed most of all.”
― Kathleen McGowan, quote from The Book of Love
“Her beauty satisfied [his] artistic eye, her peculiarities piqued his curiosity, her vivacity lightened his ennui, and her character interested him by the unconscious hints it gave of power, pride and passion. So entirely natural and unconventional was she that he soon found himself on a familiar footing, asking all manner of unusual questions, and receiving rather piquant replies.”
― Louisa May Alcott, quote from A Long Fatal Love Chase
“Many foods that are cooked, such as meats and grains, would otherwise be unappetizing or inedible to humans. Cooking allows foods to bypass sensory safeguards that would normally protect us from ingesting unnatural and unhealthful substances. Essentially, cooking makes it possible for us to eat (and to call “good”) food we would otherwise consider to have gone “bad.”

A Beautiful DarkBookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
