“When you close the door of your mind to negative thoughts, the door of opportunity opens to you.”

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.

Successful people, in all callings, never stop acquiring specialized knowledge related to their major purpose, business, or profession.

When opportunity came, the person didn’t realize it because it came in the form of misfortune.

When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.

A resourceful person will always make opportunity fit his or her needs.

Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.

Find out what you really love to do, and then find a way to make a good living doing it.

So I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Gliders, sail planes, they’re wonderful flying machines. It’s the closest you can come to being a bird.

In the end, it mattered not that you could not close your mind. It was your heart that saved you.

Trust Him with the open doors and trust Him with the closed doors.

Love isn’t soft, like the poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.

Let your heart guide you, it whispers so listen closely.

As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature’s sources never fail.

It’s a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It’s an interesting place to be. I recommend it.
