Remember when your plans fail, that temporary defeat is not permanent failure.

No man can afford to express, through words or acts, that which is not in harmony with his own beliefs, and if he does so, he must pay by the loss of his ability to influence others.

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

Strong, deeply rooted desire is the starting point of all achievement. Just as the electron is the last unit of matter discernible to the scientist. DESIRE is the seed of all achievement; the starting place, back of which there is nothing, or at least there is nothing of which we have any knowledge.

Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity, began where he stood to put his dream into action, and despite more than ten thousand failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality. Practical dreamers do not quit.

It isn’t defeat, but rather your mental attitude toward it, that whips you.

FAITH is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.
