One must realize that all who have accumulated great fortunes first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, desiring, and planning before they acquired money.

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.

Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.

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.

Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat.

Every failure, every adversity, every heartache may be a blessing in disguise providing it softens the animal portion of our nature.

Control your own mind, and you may never be controlled by the mind of another.
