Try out your ideas by visualizing them in action.

If you give yourself to your task at once, you won't have to do it twice.

Tell a man something is bad, and he's not at all sure he wants to give it up. Describe it as stupid, and he knows it's the better part of caution to listen.

Fear of self is the greatest of all terrors, the deepest of all dread, the commonest of all mistakes. From it grows failure. Because of it, life is a mockery. Out of it comes despair.

Love... Force it and it disappears. You cannot will love, nor even control it. You can only guide its expression. It comes or it goes according to those qualities in life that invite it or deny its presence.

A wise unselfishness is not a surrender of yourself to the wishes of anyone, but only to the best discoverable course of action.

We learn courageous action by going forward whenever fear urges us back.
