“What if you have failed in the past? So, at one time did every man we recognize as a towering success. They called it temporary defeat.”

Remember that it is not the lawyer who knows the most law, but the one who best prepares his case, who wins.

Nothing is impossible to the person who backs desire with enduring faith.

Success is knowing what you’re doing, loving what you’re doing, and believing what you’re doing.

To become successful you must be a person of action. Merely to “know” is not sufficient. It is necessary both to know and do.

Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

You can’t change where you started, but you can change the direction you are going. It’s not what you are going to do, but it’s what you are doing now that counts.

It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

To succeed in life, succeed at being yourself.

Live each day as if it were your last, and you’ll develop a keen respect for opportunity.

Most failures could have been converted into successes if someone had held on another minute or made more effort.

If you try and fail, make another effort, and still another until you succeed.

You become what you think about.

Life reflects your own thoughts back to you.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

When you walk with Jesus, defeat turns into victory.

In any case, I married Feroze Gandhi. Once I get an idea in my head, no one in the world can make me change my mind.

The only way to defeat pain is to recognize pain exists.

Make a commitment to your self that today, success is your only options! No matter the obstacles, no matter the sacrifice! you have decided you won’t be denied, you won’t be defeated!

You don’t help a country by supporting a military regime that denies any sign of democracy, and what defeated Pakistan was its military regime.

Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat never take yourself too seriously.

Defeats are always pitiful. Victories are always last resources.

To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility – these are marks of maturity and graciousness.
