“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”

Your world and everything in it is a reflection of your own mental attitude toward yourself.

Be positive, cheerful, grateful and expectant.

Open your ears before you open your mouth, it may surprise your eyes!

No man can get rich himself unless he enriches others.

Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.

People don’t have great attitudes because of great success, they have great success largely because of great attitudes.

One thing a goal must do is fill us with positive emotion when we think about it. The more intensely we feel about a goal the more progressively we’ll move toward it.

We become what we think about most of the time, and that’s the strangest secret.

Ideas are elusive, slippery things. Best to keep a pad of paper and a pencil at your bedside, so you can stab them during the night before they get away.

Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together.

People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be – whether they will admit that or not.

If a person will spend one hour a day on the same subject for five years, that person will be an expert on that subject.

The person with just one good idea is a thousand times better off than the person with no good ideas.

Security isn’t what the wise person looks for – it’s opportunity.

Shooting for the top will bring out the best that’s in you.

Watch what everyone else does–do the opposite. The majority is always wrong.

I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.

All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.

We may not be able to do any great thing; but if each of us will do something, however small it may be, a good deal will be accomplised for God.

Your greatest accomplishment may not be something you do but someone you raise.

High moral character is not a precondition for great moral accomplishments.

Republicans always try to paint Democrats as weak on defense. This time, they can’t. After all, Mitt Romney’s idea of an overseas accomplishment is sending U.S. jobs there.

I’ve seen very few people in the world accomplish anything unless they were optimists.

We are called to be fruitful – not successful, not productive, not accomplished. Success comes from strength, stress, and human effort. Fruitfulness comes from vulnerability and the admission of our own weakness.
