“Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it’s too late.”

Do not desire to fit in. Desire to lead.

One of the secrets of success is to refuse to let temporary setbacks defeat us.

Think in terms of what’s good for the other person and success will seek you out.

We didn’t set the world on fire from the first day. Disappointments, setbacks and work created the company as it is today.

Forcing myself to think positively did wonders for my spirit. I was able to overcome the discontent inside me, and my old enthusiasm slowly returned.

I believe that most successful people are ordinary people with extraordinary determination.

People often resist change when they don’t participate in the decision-making process. Some of the best leaders ‘plant the seed’ that permits others to propose the idea and take credit for it!

Help other people get what they want – and you’ll get what you want.

Be a dreamer. Have a sense of greatness. It has been said that if you can dream it, you can do it. And I believe that. Before your dream can become a reality, you have to see it in your own mind; see its fulfillment, whatever it may be.

You are the only boss you have. And I want you to be the most demanding boss that you can be. If you really want to make a success of this business, then you must put yourself on a schedule.

Hope is wishing for something to come true. Faith is belief that it will come true. Believe that for every problem God gives you, He will also provide you with a solution.

For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

You can’t stand still. You either go forward or backward.

Dare to risk public criticism.

Even the smallest achievements pave a way to great success.

In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.

Now is the moment that never ends.

I’m from a state that houses too many cornfields and a town that no one takes seriously- in a home where glass cuts hurt less than deeply wounded words.

The sun touched your skin with innocent delicacy as if you were a work of out that was made to be admired deeply.

Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It’s a journey of discovery – there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair.

The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another’s keeping .

We want Realism’s wealth of experience and Symbolism’s depth of feeling. All art is a problem of balance between two opposites.

The deepest level of worship is praising God inspite of pain, trusting Him during a trial, surrendering while suffering, and loving Him when He seems distant.

It is your holy work, to deeply love, honor and respect the precious self that you are, the soul that only you hold.
