Perseverance is another word for faith!

By being persistent, you're demonstrating faith. Persistence is simply another word for faith. If you didn't have faith, you'd never persist.

The strangest secret in the world is that you become what you think about.

Security isn't what the wise person looks for; it's opportunity. And once we begin looking for that, we find it on every side. You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.

Be positive, cheerful, grateful and expectant.

That's the secret: be interesting. If you can't be interesting, shut up. There's nothing wrong with silence.

If the average person realized the power he wields over his life and destiny, he would live in a perpetual state of wonder and thanksgiving.
