“The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement, will depend very largely on how big a man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self, yourself at your best.”

Absorb knowledge from every possible source and opportunity. Power gravitates to the man who knows how and why.

There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.

We lift ourselves by our own thought; we climb upon our vision of ourselves.

There is no medicine like hope.

We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.

Our thoughts and imaginations are the only real limits to our possibilities.

A woman who is self-reliant, positive, optimistic, and undertakes her work with the assurance of success magnetizes her condition. She draws to herself the creative powers of the universe.

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.

The secret of happiness is in a cheerful, contented mind. He is poor who is dissatisfied; he is rich who is contented with what he has, and can enjoy what others own.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

No one has a corner on success. It is his who pays the price.

There is no law by which one can, as long as he thinks he can’t.

Worry clogs the brain and paralyzes the thought. A troubled brain can not think clearly, vigorously, locally.

The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.

No man can be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else.

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them… they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.

When you have a strong vision to accomplish your dreams, the goodness starts moving through you.

Success is baby steps, the small accomplishments, and the days where you want to give up, but you try a little harder that counts.  

Avoid spending a long period of time alone, getting out of bed is a big accomplishment.

If no one in the world mad at you, you haven’t accomplished much yet.

Give yourself credit for who you are and what you are. Appreciate how far you’ve come and your accomplishments.

Do not go to bed until you have gone over the day three times in your mind. What wrong did I do? What good did I accomplish? What did I forget to do?

You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.

None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.
