We conquer ourselves by learning patience, for she gives to us our longed for victory only in the surrender of self.

An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.

It's time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.

Anyone or anything that asks you to be untrue to yourself has already acted against you.

One way to measure your own fears is to count the number of personal questions you've allowed others to answer for you.

If any of those times you rushed around madly - trying to get somewhere faster - had ever made any real difference in the quality of your life... don't you think you'd be able to slow down by now?

No one rises above who he or she has been without first having fallen down. The best time - in fact, the only time - to make a real change in your life is in the moment of seeing the need for it. He who hesitates always gets lost in the hundred reasons why tomorrow is a better day to get started.
