Nothing is more tragic - or more common - than mental inertia.

A resourceful person will always make opportunity fit his or her needs.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty your aims and hopes may be.

Riches don't respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.

Lack of persistence is one of the major causes of failure. Moreover, experience with thousands of people has proved that lack of persistence is a weakness common to the majority of men. It is a weakness which may be overcome with effort.

The number one reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.

Your reputation is that which people think you are; your character is that which you are.
