“Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination.”

Encourage me, and I will not forget you.

Once trust is tarnished, it is hard to restore it to its original glow.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say ‘thank you?’

A life lived without forgiveness is a prison.

‘If only’ is the excuse of the loser; ‘I can’ is the affirmation of the winner.

Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

The winner asks, “May I help?” The loser asks, “Do you expect me to do that?”

Love is more than a noun-it is a verb; it is more than a feeling-it is caring, sharing, helping, sacrificing.

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems – not people; to focus your energies on answers – not excuses.

Enthusiasm is the match that lights the candle of achievement.

Delays, disappointments and defeats cause quitters to give up in resignation; losers, to give in the frustration; winners, to come through with determination.

Commend while others are criticizing, persist while others are quitting.

To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.

The more patient we are, the more understanding we become.

Three enemies of personal peace: regret over yesterday’s mistakes, anxiety over tomorrow’s problems, and ingratitude for today’s blessings.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.

Go for the moon. If you don’t get it, you’ll still be heading for a star. Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of the creative effort.

Religious faith obscures uncertainty where uncertainty exists, allowing the unknown, the implausible, and the false to achieve primacy over the facts.

Your greatest achievement is to love me.

The greatest achievements are those that benefit others.

A competitor continually sets new goals. He feels the need to keep raising the bar. If the fist goal is to make the team, and he achieves it, he immediately resets the goal to: I want to be a starter.

I believe that dreamers who simply imagine things that would be nice but are not possible don’t sufficiently appreciate the laws of the universe to understand the true implications of their desires, much less how to achieve them.
