Life is a series of problems.

Happiness is simply a state of mind in which our thinking is pleasant a good share of the time.

Develop an enthusiasm for life, create a need for more life, and you will receive more life.

We simply must get it through our heads that holding a low opinion of ourselves is not a virtue, but a vice.

Self-improvement is the name of the game, and your primary objective is to strengthen yourself, not to destroy an opponent.

We act, we behave, and we feel the vibration that we're in at the present time according to what we consider our self image to be. And we do not deviate from that pattern. The image you hold of yourself is a premise, a foundation (idea) on which your entire personality is built. This image, not only controls your behavior but your circumstances as well.

What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live - with your self-respect alive and growing.
