Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.

Don't take the attitude of waiting for people to be nice to you - be nice to them. Don't sit in front of a cold stove waiting for the heat. Put in the fuel. Act first.

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

Every one of us is the sum total of his own thoughts

The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers.

Successful people form the habit of doing what failures don't like to do. They like the results they get by doing what they don't necessarily enjoy.

Your rewards will be determined by the extent of your contribution, that is your service to others.
