“God never made anyone else exactly like you, and he never will again. Thank him for yourself and then for all the rest of his glorious handiwork.”

Faith supplies staying power. Anyone can keep going when the going is good, but some extra ingredient is needed to keep you fighting when it seems that everything is against you.

Thoughts and words form your mental image. And since we become what we picture be sure your thoughts and words express prosperity and blessing rather than poverty and defeat.

Never react emotionally to criticism. Analyze yourself to determine whether it is justified. If it is, correct yourself. Otherwise, go on about your business.

If you want a quality, act as if you already have it. If you want to be courageous, act as if you were – and as you act and persevere in acting, so you tend to become.

Stand up to an obstacle. Just stand up to it, that’s all, and don’t give way under it, and it will finally break. You will break it. Something has to break, and it won’t be you, it will be the obstacle.

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don’t have any problems, you don’t get any seeds.

The greatest risk in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing.

Never let any mistake cause you to stop believing in yourself. Learn from it and go on.

Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives you. It may be better than what you asked for.

Have absolutely no sense of guilt about being happy and successful if you operate honestly and with a sense of social responsibility.

Positive thinking is how you think about a problem. Enthusiasm is how you feel about a problem. The two together determine what you do about a problem.

You have a choice everyday, You can choose every morning whether you will be depressed and miserable, or whether you will be happy.

The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.

I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out.

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That’s real glory. That’s the essence of it.

It takes great deal of courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it.

This time it is real – all must die, and where could mountaineer find a more glorious death!

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don’t know my story.

To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.

A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.

You cannot understand the glories of the universe without believing there is some Supreme Power behind it.
