No accurate thinker will judge another person by that which the other person's enemies say about him.

Men have no confidence in an officer who doesn't know his own mind.

You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are being most unfairly tested, you are being prepared for great achievement.

The testing process usually happens when we least expect it, thereby catching you off guard and giving you no chance to display anything by your real personality.

Most of us go through life as failures, because we are waiting for the 'time to be right' to start doing something worthwhile. Do not wait. The time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

You owe it to yourself not to permit your emotions to place your happiness in the keeping of another person.

The one and only thing over which you have complete and total control is how you focus your own mind. Luckily, this determines everything else.
