“The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you.”

To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return.

Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don’t allow yourself to become one of them.

Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality.

If you so choose, even the unexpected setbacks can bring new and positive possibilities. If you so choose, you can find value and fulfillment in every circumstance.

So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful.

Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it.

Make it a habit to tell people thank you.

Every day you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost ground.

The direction of your focus is the direction your life will move.

Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.

Don’t lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations.

Live your days on the positive side of life, in tune with your most treasured values. And in each moment you’ll have much to live for.

Let your mind see every detail of your own special version of the very best that life can be.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Success in any endeavor depends on the degree to which it is an expression of your true self.

I think that’s what happened to the record business when ‘Napster’ came around. The industry rejected what was happening instead of accepting it as change.

Fascism accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with the state’s.

I always hate it when I see the wrong person in massive roles, so for me, my biggest fear would be accepting a role I thought I wouldn’t find the rhythm of.

Now it is a funny thing about life. If you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. If you utterly decline to make do with what you can get, then somehow or other, you are very likely to get what you want.

If you want democracy, you have got to be prepared to accept the responsibilities of democracy.

It’s a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

If only we can give them faith that mountains can be moved, they will accept the illusion that mountains are moveable, and thus an illusion may become reality.

If you acquit me, you will give me great pleasure. If you condemn me you will do me honour!
