“Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.”

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.

One of the great undiscovered joys of life comes from doing everything one attempts to the best of one’s ability. The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement.

And so long as I can laugh, never will I be poor. This then, is one of nature’s greatest gifts and I will waste it no more.

I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man.

I will laugh at the world! Never will I allow myself to become so important, so wise, so dignified, so powerful, that I forget how to laugh at myself and my world. And so long as I can Laugh never will I be poor.

So long as there is breath in me, that long I will persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles on success; if I persist long enough I will win.

The greatest legacy we can leave our children is happy memories.

With no goals, no priorities, no life strategy of our own, we drift with the herd through an endless meadow of mediocrity, unable to break loose, to achieve even a small part of the dreams we once cherished.

Journey quietly on your pathway to forever with charity & a smile. When you depart it will be said by all that your legacy was a better world than the one you found.

True happiness lies within you.

The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything.

I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better.

The most unfortunate thing that happens to a person who fears failure is that he limits himself by becoming afraid to try anything new.

Peo­ple who start think­ing deep dark thoughts in the mid­dle of a war start ex­pect­ing to lose.

Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.

The Lord waits for us to offer him our failings so that he can help us experience his mercy.

In many situations in life, all you have to be able to do is just one more.

Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear.

I have three dogs at home. Even after losing a series or winning a series, they treat me the same way.
