One of the best quotes from the recording:
"Opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice. It is conformity"

"The Strangest Secret" was a 1956 recorded speech spoken by Earl Nightingale which sold over one million vinyl records and received the first Gold Record for the spoken word. This speech and media distribution method helped launch the fields of business motivation, self-help and audio publishing. It was later adapted into print and video forms.

In 1950 Earl Nightingale was inspired by the words "we become what we think about" in Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich. He recorded weekly motivational speeches for his insurance agency's sales staff. In 1956, he recorded a motivational speech that was to be played while he was on vacation. Nightingale's employees loved the speech and told everyone they knew about it. As a result, the demand for the recording became so huge that he and friend Lloyd Conant formed the Nightingale-Conant Corporation to manage sales.
