Who said this? quote attribution question

by David
5 replies
My first foray into motivational thinking was when my Dad bought Earl Nightengale's "Lead the Field" in 1971, I was 14, I learned about Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" and studied it for the next 2 years.

Later that year Dad took me to Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics... I was reading @ 2000+ words per minute, one side effect of being an incest survivor is I developed an eidetic memory, I remember (almost) everything I read...

well that fails me right now, does anyone know who said this quote:

"Successful People Do The Things That Failures Don't Like To Do"?

I remember that from "Lead the Field", not sure if Earl Nightengale paraphrased it, I'm planning on quoting it in a blog post, but not if I get the attribution inaccurate.

does anyone know who said this?
Thanks and Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays to all

I hope your holidays were as magical as mine was/ is

    There may be several people who have said it, but I think it was Albert E. N. Gray.

      I think you are correct, what I remember must have been Earl Nightengale paraphrasing this quote:

      "Successful people are successful because they form the habits of doing those things that failures don't like to do."

      which I found here:
      Albert Gray quotes

      Now on with my sales copy complete with attribution, thanks

    That’s a great quote. Never hear of Albert Gray though, I’ll be checking his works out now. Always looking for more information.

    First time I heard it was Bob Proctor...I can tell you this much, whoever says it speaks the truth.

    "    The biggest difference between those who dream and those who succeed is this: those who succeed take action now, whether they're ready or not. They're not afraid to see their dreams drug through the mud and even changed a bit in order for them to become real."

    -BAM!!!

      True, action is what is needed. You can learn as much as is possible and if you don't do anything with it than you get no place.

      Knowledge is not power like many say, but knowledge combined with action is true power.
