“There's only one honest way to measure affluence; that's by comparing the capability of producing goods and services with the desire of people to enjoy them. It's a lousy, crooked trick to compare this society with China or some such place and then say we're affluent. It's a piece of intellectual crookery even to compare this economy with itself ten or twenty years ago. We should compare what we have with what we could have.” PeopleWayShouldYearsWisdomDesirePoliticsEnjoyEconomyPiecesHonestTenIntellectualYears AgoTwentiesChinaTricksCompareLiberalismGoodsCapabilityCrookedAffluenceThis SocietyAffluentGoods And Services Author:Louis O.

“The secret is contained in a three-part formula I learned in the gym: self confidence, a positive mental attitude, and honest hard work. Many people are aware of these principles, but very few can put them into practice. Every day I hear someone say, 'I'm to fat. I need to lose twenty-five pounds, but I can't. I never seem to improve.' I'd hate myself if I had that kind of attitude, if I were that weak. I can lose ten to forty pounds rapidly, easily, painlessly, by simply setting my mind to it.” PeopleIfsNeedsMindKindI CanSelfHardSeemsHateThreeLosesSecretAttitudePrinciplesPracticeFiveHonestHard WorkTenWeakTwentiesSelf ConfidenceSettingFatsSettingsFortyPoundsGymFormulasTwenty FiveMental AttitudePositive Mental AttitudeHate Myself Book:Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder Source: Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder
