“Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.”

What is hope? Hope is wishing for a thing to come true; faith is believing that it will come true.

A positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative; he refuses to dwell on it. Positive thinking is a form of thought which habitually looks for the best results from the worst conditions

Make a mental list of happy thoughts and pass them through your mind several times every day.

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

Expect great things, and great things will come.

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.

Today we have the economic collapse that the whole planet is suffering, but there is hope, and that’s what’s going to keep us moving ahead.

Bull markets go to people’s heads. If you’re a duck on a pond, and it’s rising due to a downpour, you start going up in the world. But you think it’s you, not the pond.

I dream a world… where wretchedness will hang its head and joy, like a pearl, attends the needs of all mankind. Of such I dream, my world!

My life is making movies. I like storytelling, and I’ve got a lot of stories that are stored up in my head that I hope to get out before my time is up.

This is what the heart wants. This is what the head won’t get.

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;!

The head thinks. The heart knows.

I’ll repeat something you might consider tattooing on your forehead: What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.
