Og Mandino foi um escritor nascido na Itália e que viveu nos Estados Unidos da América.

Foi um "guru" do setor de vendas. Presidiu a revista Success Unlimited até 1976, quando, aos 52 anos, "chocou o setor ao renunciar à presidência para dedicar-se em tempo integral a escrever e dar palestras" .

Ex-alcoólatra que quase chegou ao suicídio, tornou-se milionário ao publicar O Maior Vendedor do Mundo. Tornou-se um dos autores mais inspiradores e bem sucedidos no segmento denominado auto-ajuda, principalmente com livros voltados para vendas. Seus livros venderam mais de 50 milhões de cópias e foram traduzidos em vinte e cinco idiomas. Og Mandino integra o "National Speakers Association Hall Of Fame". Tornou-se a décima terceira pessoa a ser incluída no Passeio da Fama dos Oradores Internacionais.

„Um dos preços mais elevados que estamos a pagar pelo nosso dito estilo de vida moderno nos últimos cinquenta anos é tornarmo-nos cada vez mais parecidos uns com os outros. Todos nós suportamos os mesmos programas de televisão, lemos as mesmas revistas, usamos o mesmo vestuário e compramos a mesma comida congelada. Todos vivemos e morremos ao compasso do relógio, matamo-nos prematuramente uns aos outros em automóveis semelhantes, perdemos a noite num jogo de futebol ou no escritório, nunca parecemos ter muito tempo para os nossos cônjuges e filhos, olhamos impotentes enquanto os nossos oceanos e lagos são envenenados e tentamos não pensar numa bomba de hidrogénio a aterrar em qualquer lugar próximo da nossa cidade ou vila.

Conforme os anos passam, acertamos todos o passo para marcharmos ao toque do mesmo tambor, correndo para a frente ou para trás ao mesmo ritmo que todos os outros, praticamente sorrindo a uma ordem - seres produzidos em massa com tanta personalidade como qualquer dos milhões de bolachas de água e sal que saem diariamente dos fornos da Nabisco.“

„Remind thyself, in the darkest moments, that every failure is only a step toward success, every detection of what is false directs you toward what is true, every trial exhausts some tempting form of error, and every adversity will only hide, for a time, your path to peace and fulfillment.“

„How do I change?
If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labor.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.“

— Og Mandino

„I will live this day as if it is my last. …I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday’s misfortunes, Yesterday’s defeats, yesterday’s aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?”
I will live this day as if it is my last. This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterday’s sunrise who are no longer with the living today. I am indeed a fortunate man and today’s hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I, have departed? Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? Is this another opportunity for me to become the man I know I can be?“

„Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.“

— Og Mandino

„Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.“
