“Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.”

I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools.

Nothing is easier than fault finding.

I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; Yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; Yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat never take yourself too seriously.

Cherish each hour of this day for it can NEVER return.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success.

Opportunities, many times, are so small that we glimpse them not and yet they are often the seeds of great enterprises. Opportunities are also everywhere and so you must always let your hook be hanging. When you least expect it, a great fish will swim by.

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to achieving your dreams.

Always render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.

Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.

Each problem has a positive side.

My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.

Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

So long as I can laugh, never will I be poor.

It takes years of practice to become a World No. 1 or 2.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

The only thing that scares me more than standing out is not standing out at all.

My long-term goal is to become the world number one player.

Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you.

Whatever obstacle comes your way, you gotta be prepared to jump over it! And I think that’s what separates the legends from the regular artists. It’s all in how you manage that success, and how you deal with the controversy when it actually comes.

We run things, things don’t run we.

I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.
