When you want a thing deeply, earnestly and intensely, this feeling of desire reinforces your will and arouses in you the determination to work for the desired object. When you have a distinct purpose in view, your work becomes of absorbing interest. You bend your best powers to it; you give it concentrated attention; you think of little else than the realization of this purpose; your will is stimulated into unusual activity, and as a consequence you do your work with an increasing sense of power.

If you are willing, great things are possible to you.

Keep a definite goal of achievement constantly in view. Realize that work well and worthily done makes life truly worth living.

You grow your best thoughts in silence, solitude, and meditation. When you relax and think deeply, you are giving your inmost powers their best opportunity to disclose themselves.

Defeat isn't bitter if you don't swallow it.

To every problem there is already a solution, whether you know it or not. To every sum in there is already a correct answer, whether the mathematician has found it or not.

Let the spirit of your work be right, and whether your task be great or small you will then have the satisfaction of knowing it is worth while.
