It is in the expectations of happiness that much of happiness itself is found. And it takes courage to expect happiness.

Failures . . . believe that their lives are shaped by circumstances ... by things that happen to them ... by exterior forces.

Do each day all that can be done that day. You don't need to overwork or to rush blindly into your work trying to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible time. Don't try to do tomorrow's or next week's work today. It's not the number of things you do, but the quality, the efficiency of each separate action that count. To achieve this "habit of success," you need only to focus on the most important tasks and succeed in each small task of each day.

With every adversity, there is an equal or greater gift. Keep looking for the gift.

People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.

If you don't have a good model for success, just look at what everybody else is doing and do the opposite.

All you have to do is hold your goal before you and everything else will take care of itself.
