The only thing I hate worse than prophecy is self-fulfilling prophecy

Bill Maher

The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behavior which makes the originally false conception come true. The specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error. For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning.

Robert K. Merton

Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. What you believe about Life will be your experience of Life.

Neale Donald Walsch

Life is self-fulfilling prophecy.

Denis Waitley

Positive self-expectancy is the first, most outwardly identifiable quality of a top-achieving, winning human being. Positive self-expectancy is pure and simple optimism: real enthusiasm for everything you do... [while] expecting the most favorable result from your own actions. There never was a winner who didn't expect to win in advance. Winners understand that life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. And they know that you usually get what you expect in the long run.

Denis Waitley

Your thoughts greatly influence how you feel and behave. In fact, your inner monologue has a tendency to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Amy Morin

I have great faith in optimism as a guiding principle, if only because it offers us the opportunity of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Arthur C. Clarke

I figure it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy; if I make a successful arena rock record, I'll wind up playing arenas! I wouldn't mind being back in that kind of venue because of the kinds of things you can do with production. You can make your shows more interesting, which would be fun to do.

Todd Rundgren

Oppression has no logic--just a self-fulfilling prophecy, justified by a self-perpetuating system.

Gloria Steinem

Al Gore is producing enough hot air to make his doomsday predictions about global warming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Joseph Farah

When you say something or sing something enough times, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's almost like casting spells. I don't mean necessarily in the flighty, 'I'm going to go buy a cloak with a hood now' way.

Feist

[Optimism] acts as a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Jeannette Walls

Choosing a name is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Pipilotti Rist

The law of self-fulfilling prophecy says that you get what you expect. So why not create great expectations and the highest vision possible of yourself and your world?
