“You can’t change where you started, but you can change the direction you are going. It’s not what you are going to do, but it’s what you are doing now that counts.”

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

To succeed in life, succeed at being yourself.

Live each day as if it were your last, and you’ll develop a keen respect for opportunity.

Most failures could have been converted into successes if someone had held on another minute or made more effort.

If you try and fail, make another effort, and still another until you succeed.

You become what you think about.

Life reflects your own thoughts back to you.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Successful people, in all callings, never stop acquiring specialized knowledge related to their major purpose, business, or profession.

When opportunity came, the person didn’t realize it because it came in the form of misfortune.

When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.

A resourceful person will always make opportunity fit his or her needs.

Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.

Find out what you really love to do, and then find a way to make a good living doing it.

You either control your mind or it controls you.
