“Be prepared to ride the cycles and trends of life; success is never permanent, and failure is never final.”

Your brain has more than 100 billion cells, each connected to at least 20,000 other cells. The possible combinations are greater than the number of molecules in the known universe.

Never settle for anything less than your best.

Take a deep breath, relax and imagine yourself exactly as you wish to be.

If rejection destroys your self-esteem, you’re letting others hold you as an emotional hostage.

Spend eighty percent of your time focusing on the opportunities of tomorrow rather than the problems of yesterday.

Activity equals results. If you want to increase your success, increase your activity.

The world is full of people who are waiting for someone to come along and motivate them to be the kind of people they wish they could be. The problem is that no one is coming to the rescue.

Your ability to get along well with others will determine your happiness and success as much as any other factor.

Your persistence is your belief in yourself.

Intense, burning desire is the motivational force that enables you to overcome any obstacle and achieve almost any goal.

In the final analysis, you always get paid for your results.

The only thing that you can never have too much of is love.

The more you do for others without expectation of return, the more you’ll get back from the most unexpected sources.

You become what you think about most of the time.

You determine your future by the thoughts and pictures you hold in your mind today.

Luck is predictable; the harder you work, the luckier you get.

Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success.

Prayer is an investment. The time you dedicate to prayer isn’t lost; it will return dividends far greater than what a few moments spent on a task ever could. If we fail to cultivate this discipline, prayer winds up being our last resort rather than our first response.

You might have failed, but you’re not a failure until you give up.

I don’t take success and failure seriously. The only thing I do seriously is march forward. If I fall, I get up and march again.

The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing, The bare boughs are sighing, the pale flowers are dying, And the Year On the earth her death-bed, in a shroud of leaves dead, Is lying.

Failure affects me hard.

Success and failure are both part of life. Both are not permanent.

You are not your success or your failure.
