“The truly successful person inspires others to do more than they have thought possible for themselves.”

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.

By staying focused and flexible, you will meet and exceed your major life-forming goals. Success is not a resting-place – it is a launching pad.

Real power comes by empowering others.

You become that to which you are most exposed.

If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won’t, you most assuredly won’t. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.

Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

Don’t let negative people determine your self-worth.

You are your own scriptwriter and the play is never finished, no matter what your age or position in life.

Commitment is that turning point in your life when you seize the moment to alter your destiny.

We’ve got to have a dream if we are going to make a dream come true.

I learned more than I cared to discover.

Take courage; pain’s extremity soon ends.

Better the hard truth, I say, than the comforting fantasy.

I don’t care if the whole world is against you or teasing you or saying you are not gonna make it. Believe in yourself, no matter what.

Have faith in yourself. Think yes not no. Live life to the full. Never give up.

I am not thinking too far ahead, just want to take it one thing at a time.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

Live everyday as if it were your last because someday you’re going to be right.
