Brian Tracy Quotes

One of the things that has really hit home for me is that the world is how we decide it is going to be. Very few things just happen. They grow out of history, and they grow out of the present, and the more we can get a sense of how our actions lead into other actions in the future, hopefully we'll learn to make better decisions.

Everybody knows that if they're happy then usually the people around them are happy, or that people around them happy make them a little happier; that's a proved thing, like "I give to you and you give to me"; they all know that but they haven't thought about it to the point of every action that they do. That's what it is with every action that you do, there's a reaction to it, and if you want a good reaction then you do a good action, and if you want a bad one, then you punch somebody.

A Warrior knows that everything a person does has enduring consequences.

You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong.

Everything we do impacts someone else's life.

Cruelty is all out of ignorance. If you knew what was in store for you, you wouldn't hurt anybody, because whatever you do comes back much more forceful than you send it out.

God gave us free will, and we may choose to exercise it in ways that end up hurting other people.

There are in nature neither rewards nor punishments — there are only consequences.

There's not a lot of pure evil in the world, but it's amazing how little it takes to do great damage.

Everything you touch touches you.

No one gets away with anything, ever, so take responsibility for your own life.

...the only thing that continues is the consequences of our action.

But once you throw a stone, there are ripples in the pond, even if you remove the rock.

You must live life with the full knowledge that your actions will remain. We are creatures of consequence.

Realize that little things lead to bigger things.

I'm coming to believe more and more in the truth that everything we do has consequences. A good deed doesn't just evaporate and disappear.

I don't remember ever being see-saw, when I'd made my mind up that a thing was wrong. It takes the taste out o' my mouth for things, when I know I should have a heavy conscience after 'em. I've seen pretty clear, ever since I could cast up a sum, as you can never do what's wrong without breeding sin and trouble more than you can ever see. It's like a bit o' bad workmanship--you never see th' end o' the mischief it'll do. And it's a poor look-out to come into the world to make your fellow creatures worse off instead o' better.

You will learn and grow according to the nature and consequences of your actions.

... it is as true in morals as in physics that all force is imperishable; therefore the consequences of a human action never cease.

Those who hurt others will also hurt themselves.

We're now the results of our past actions, and in the future we'll be the results of the actions we're performing now.

One fault begets another; one crime renders another necessary.

One could only damage oneself through the harm one did to others. One could never get directly at oneself.

The result of a single action may spread like the circles that expand when a stone is thrown into a pond, until they touch places and people unguessed at by the person who threw the stone.

There is no cosmic scale on which you can weigh your actions; you learn too late what choices ruin the fragile balance.
