“The person who takes no chances generally has to take whatever is left when others are through choosing.”

To become successful you must be a person of action. Merely to “know” is not sufficient. It is necessary both to know and do.

Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

You can’t change where you started, but you can change the direction you are going. It’s not what you are going to do, but it’s what you are doing now that counts.

It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

To succeed in life, succeed at being yourself.

Live each day as if it were your last, and you’ll develop a keen respect for opportunity.

Most failures could have been converted into successes if someone had held on another minute or made more effort.

If you try and fail, make another effort, and still another until you succeed.

You become what you think about.

Life reflects your own thoughts back to you.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Successful people, in all callings, never stop acquiring specialized knowledge related to their major purpose, business, or profession.

When opportunity came, the person didn’t realize it because it came in the form of misfortune.

When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.

It is not like I have gone crazy, I just don’t want to take any chances. You never know what could happen.

Do not afraid to give people a second chance but not third.

Fight every chance you can to be you. Don’t let them intimidate you. Authenticity is greatness.

When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life.

The lesser the friends, the lesser the chances of betrayal.

I am so confident in that idea that if love gets a chance, it will transform the community and the world into a more prosperous place, because we are capable of love.

I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which, was that you can fail at what you don’t want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

The world is full of wonderful things you haven’t seen yet. Don’t ever give up on the chance of seeing them.
