“Expect great things, and great things will come.”

If you put off everything till you’re sure of it, you’ll never get anything done.

Have great hopes and dare to go all out for them. Have great dreams and dare to live them. Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.

Believe you can, and you can. Belief is one of the most powerful of all problem dissolvers. When you believe that a difficulty can be overcome, you are more than halfway to victory over it already.

You can be greater than anything that can happen to you.

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate.

Problems are to the mind what exercise is to the muscles, they toughen and make strong.

Faith supplies staying power. Anyone can keep going when the going is good, but some extra ingredient is needed to keep you fighting when it seems that everything is against you.

Thoughts and words form your mental image. And since we become what we picture be sure your thoughts and words express prosperity and blessing rather than poverty and defeat.

Never react emotionally to criticism. Analyze yourself to determine whether it is justified. If it is, correct yourself. Otherwise, go on about your business.

If you want a quality, act as if you already have it. If you want to be courageous, act as if you were – and as you act and persevere in acting, so you tend to become.

Stand up to an obstacle. Just stand up to it, that’s all, and don’t give way under it, and it will finally break. You will break it. Something has to break, and it won’t be you, it will be the obstacle.

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don’t have any problems, you don’t get any seeds.

The greatest risk in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing.

Never let any mistake cause you to stop believing in yourself. Learn from it and go on.

Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives you. It may be better than what you asked for.

Have absolutely no sense of guilt about being happy and successful if you operate honestly and with a sense of social responsibility.

Have no expectations is an expectation.

An expectation is a hidden agenda with control at its root.

Have no expectations mean to have no pain.

The point is not what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us.

I want so much that is not here and do not know where to go.

I can’t expect others to share my virtues. It’s good enough for me if they share my vices.

It is better to be an exception than to have expectations.

Be everything for yourself instead of relying on others.
