We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do. It's only when necessity faces us that we rise to the occasion and actually do the things that hitherto have seemed impossible.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

Live an active life among people who are doing worthwhile things, keep eyes and ears and mind and heart open to absorb truth, and then tell of the things you know, as if you know them. The world will listen, for the world loves nothing so much as real life.

when the fierce, burning winds blow over our lives-and we cannot prevent them-let us, too, accept the inevitable. And then get busy and pick up the pieces.

Remember that unjust critisism is often a disquised compliment.

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.

The life of many a person could probably be changed if only someone would make him feel important.
