“Cut your excuses in half and double your actions around your goals.”

Daily ripples of excellence -over time- become a tsunami of success.

Take care of your dreams. Or your fears will care for them for you.

If you’re not thinking for yourself, then you’re following-not leading.

It wasn’t until I began to work on my inner life and know myself that my life changed. Success really does begin within. The size and quality of your outer life is only limited by the size and quality of your inner life.

Everything that scares you is an opportunity to know your best self better.

Success is created through the performance of a few small daily disciplines that stack up over time to produce achievements far beyond anything you could have ever planned for.

Leave everyone you meet better than you found them. Become an encourager of potential versus a destroyer of confidence.

All too often, we spend our days waiting for the ideal path to appear in front of us. We forget that paths are made by walking, not waiting.

You’ll know you’re amazing when you get devoted to making other people amazing.

Happiness is the DNA of pleasure.

Better to be an optimist who gets disappointed than a pessimist who has no hope.

We become happier not by accumulating more things but by creating richer experiences.

Become one of the rare people who don’t know how to quit.

Person who chases two rabbits catches neither.

Your limits are liars, you fears are thieves.

The quality of success you will experience in your life ultimately depends upon the tiny choices you make every minute of every hour of every day.

Who would ever care to do brave deed, Or strive in virtue others to excel, If none should yield him his deserved meed Due praise, that is the spur of doing well? For if good were not praised more than ill, None would choose goodness of his own free will.

Successful people aren’t born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do. The successful people don’t always like these things themselves; they just get on and do them.

Love may be likened to a disease in this respect, that when it is denied a vent in one part, it will certainly break out in another; hence what a woman’s lips often conceal, her eyes, her blushes, and many little involuntary actions betray.

So many of our conversations (about affirmative action) have been dishonest

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

For deeds to die, however nobly done, And thoughts of men to as themselves decay, But wise words taught in numbers for to run, Recorded by the Muses, live for ay.

The gentle minde by gentle deeds is knowne.

Handsome is that handsome does.
