“What keeps so many people back is simply unwillingness to pay the price, to make the exertion, the effort to sacrifice their ease and comfort.”

Put the uncommon effort into the common task… make it large by doing it in a great way.

Find your purpose and fling your life out to it. Find a way or make one. Try with all your might. Self-made or never made.

This is the test of your manhood: How much is there left in you after you have lost everything outside of yourself?

There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in us.

Learn From Yesterday, Live for Today, hope for tomorrow.

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.

Comfort comes into your house first as guest, then as a host, then finally as the master.

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.

You need to be comfortable to make others uncomfortable.

Outside our comfort zone, though, is where we experience the true awesomeness of God.

It’s not the depth of your intellect that will comfort you or transform your world. Only the richness of your heart and your generosity of spirit can do that

Ah, lives there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said As he hunched and rolled in his comfortable bed: To hell with the rent . . . I’ll drink instead!

When I get high anxiety, I vomit. My mom was so stressed out. Then I found out I was staying in John Mayer’s old dorm room, and I had a nice roommate. That completely brought me down. I was completely comfortable at Berklee.

At this particular time, I probably am more comfortable with myself. Just now I’m having a lovely time.
