Each of us creates his or her own life largely by our attitude.

A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

The only person who succeeds is the person who is progressively realizing a worthy ideal. That's the person who says, 'I'm going to become this' and then begins to work toward that goal

If a person is working toward a predetermined goal and knows where to go, then that person is successful. If a person does not know which direction they want to go in life, then that person is a failure.

Most people tiptoe their way through life, hoping they make it safely to death.

You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.

Even if our home burns down we can rebuild it. But the things that we got for nothing, we can never replace.
