“Perseverance does not always mean sticking to the same thing forever. It means giving full concentration and effort to whatever you are doing right now.”

Habits are like comfortable beds. They are easy to get into, but difficult to get out of.

Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep.

The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.

Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future,and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence.

Commitment doesn’t guarantee success, but lack of commitment guarantees you’ll fall far short of your potential.

We are supposed to forgive everyone; everyone includes ourselves.

Accept yourself as you are right now; an imperfect, changing, growing and worthy person.

What you leave in your children, is more important than what you leave to them.

You must learn from your past mistakes, but not lean on your past successes.

You are an uncut gemstone of priceless value. Cut and polish your potential with knowledge, skills and service and you will be in great demand throughout your life.

That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don’t spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.

Don’t ‘take care’, take a risk!

Losers let it happen; winners make it happen!

Make certain that your goals are not measured in comparison with others.

A surplus of effort could overcome a deficit of confidence.

Win or lose, I always focus only on giving my 100%.

I will keep working on different aspects of my games. It’s not so easy, and I need to work on every stroke.

Remember that creating a successful marriage is like farming: you have to start over again every morning.

A racehorse that consistently runs just a second faster than another horse is worth millions of dollars more. Be willing to give that extra effort that separates the winner from the one in second place.

You were never worth the chase and I was always worth the effort.

Don’t bend over backwards for people who don’t want you to move forward.

I guess what I’ve always wanted was someone who loves me enough to match my effort.
