There are times for all of us when all the laughter seems to be gone, but we should not permit these periods to last too long. When we've lost our sense of humor, there isn't very much left. We become ridiculous. We must then go to war against the whole world, and that's a war we cannot win.

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.

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.

You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own 'acres of diamonds.'

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

Self-pity is an acid which eats holes in happiness.

The greatest thing on earth is a good idea!
