Habits start out as off-hand remarks, magazine advertisements, friendly hints, experiments - like flimsy cobwebs with little substance. They grow with practice, layer by layer - thought on thought - fused with imagination and emotion until they become like steel cables - unbreakable. Habits are attitudes which grow from cobwebs into cables that control your everyday life. Self-discipline alone can make or break a habit. Self discipline alone can effect a permanent change in your self image and in you. Self-discipline achieves goals. Self discipline is not 'doing without,' it is 'doing within.'

If we succeed without sacrifice, it's because someone sacrificed for us.

Winners take time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is what makes the view from the top so exhilarating.

Don't 'take care', take a risk!

A failure is like fertilizer; it stinks to be sure, but it makes things grow faster in the future.

Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy.

If you don't know where you're going, it doesn't matter if your alarm doesn't go off in the morning.
