“The greatest failure is the failure to try.”

Happiness is an inside job.

Will someone else’s life be brighter tomorrow, because of what you have done today?

Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.

Friendship flourishes at the fountain of forgiveness.

There is one thing we can do better than anyone else: we can be ourselves.

A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.

In the face of unjust criticism we can become bitter or better; upset or understanding; hostile or humble; furious or forgiving.

Success never resides in the world of weak wishes, but in the palace of purposeful plans and prayerful persistence.

For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

You might have failed, but you’re not a failure until you give up.

The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of God’s children, but that as soon as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil.

Too often we love people who don’t love us, but we fail to return the love of others who do.

When you are injured, you need to strengthen yourself very well to make a comeback very confidently.

I would sooner fail than not be among the greatest.

There’s no right or wrong, success or failure.

Don’t be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience.
