Truly, thoughts are things, and their scope of operation is the world itself.

Your real boss is the one who walks around under your hat.

Here is an old Oriental proverb: *A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.* It is difficult to anticipate just how a situation will develop in every detail until you take a step forward and try out your present equipment. Then, if weaknesses appear, you will have clues as to how to strengthen your resources. No scheme or plan is perfect. Perfection is a process, not an end.

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

You must master the habit of procrastination and eliminate it from your wake-up. This habit of putting off until tomorrow that which you should have done last week or last year or a score of years ago is gnawing at the very vitals of your being and you can accomplish nothing until you throw it off.

Enthusiasm, if fueled by inspiration and perseverance, travels with passion and its destination is excellence.

We are creatures of imitation. We find it hard to resist the temptation to do that which we see others doing.
