Optimism is a kind of heart stimulant - the digitalis of failure.

Make two grins grow where there was only a grouch before.

Impossible things are simply those which so far have never been done.

The only man who makes money following the races is one who does it with a broom and shovel.

Fences are made for those who cannot fly.

The line between failure and success is so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it. How many a person has thrown up his or her hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success. A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

When trouble comes, wise men take to their work; weak men take to the woods.
