“We win half the battle when we make up our minds to take the world as we find it including the thorns.”

Just make up your mind at the very outset that your work is going to stand for quality… that you are going to stamp a superior quality upon everything that goes out of your hands, that whatever you do shall bear the hallmark of excellence.

How can I develop myself into the grandest possible manhood?

A good system shortens the road to the goal.

Man becomes a slave to his constantly repeated acts. What he at first chooses, at last compels.

The man who has not learned the secret of taking the drudgery out of his task by flinging his whole soul into it, has not learned the first principles of success or happiness.

The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread, but every time we repeat the act we strengthen the strand, add to it another filament, until it becomes a great cable and binds us irrevocably thought and act.

A strong, successful man is not the victim of his environment. He creates favorable conditions. His own inherent force and energy compel things to turn out as he desires.

We lend power to the things we fear!

Poverty often hides her charms under an ugly mask; yet thousands have been forced into greatness by their very struggle to keep the wolf from the door.

Most men fail, not through lack of education or agreeable personal qualities, but from lack of dogged determination, from lack of dauntless will.

It is what we do easily and what we like to do that we do well.

Real happiness is so simple that most people do not recognize it. It is derived from the simplest, the quietest, the most unpretentious things in the world.

Your expectations opens or closes the doors of your supply, If you expect grand things, and work honestly for them, they will come to you, your supply will correspond with your expectation.

The successful men of today are men of one overmastering idea, one unwavering aim, men of single and intense purpose.

You will find the whole world will change to you when you change your attitude toward it.

Good cheer is a great lubricant; it oils all of life’s machinery.

Loves a battlefield it’s not a one night stand.

No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles. The battle decides all.

Thank God that He’s working; thank Him that He’s fighting your battles.

A battle is won by him who is firmly resolved to win it.

Love taught me to stay alive in the battle of life.

Winning is important, but survival is even more important. If you don’t survive, you don’t get to fight the next battle.

Sometimes you lose a battle. But mischief always wins the war.

It’s all God’s will: you can die in your sleep, and God can spare you in battle.
