“Perseverance does not always mean sticking to the same thing forever. It means giving full concentration and effort to whatever you are doing right now.”

God’s Law of Cause and Effect: Your rewards in life will always be equal to the amount and quality of service rendered, in the long run.

Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.

Don’t wait for mentors to seek you out. Don’t ever wait for your phone calls to be returned, your letters to be answered, your faxes to be responded to. Keep going out and asking question.

Most people spend most of their time on low-priority busywork because it requires no additional knowledge, skills, or imagination-or courage. In a word, it’s easier.

Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.

The winner’s edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent. The winner’s edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude. Attitude is the criterion for success.

You can only do good if you feel good.

The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.

Chase your passion, not your pension.

Time And health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.

Real motivation is that drive from within: You know where you are going because you have a compelling image inside, not a travel poster on the wall.

Unless what you say benefits the other person, don’t say it.

Don’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.

Real success comes in small portions day by day.

The truth is, you don’t break a bad habit; you replace it with a good one.

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.

Freedom is not only bought with a great price; it is maintained by unremitting effort.

Civil strife is as much a greater evil than a concerted war effort as war itself is worse than peace.

Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.

We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once.

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.

I’m content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That’s what I’ve always worried about: that I wouldn’t try hard enough.

The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything.

Remember that the most difficult tasks are consummated, not by a single explosive burst of energy or effort, but by the constant daily application of the best you have within you.
