No man [or woman] is free until he learns to do his own thinking and gains the courage to act on his own personal initiative.

Most ideas are stillborn and need the breath of life injected into them through definite plans of immediate action. The time to nurse an idea is at the time of its birth. Every minute it lives gives it a better chance of surviving.

Those who approach their jobs and careers with enthusiasm always find plenty of opportunities, while those who complain about no one ever giving them a chance are merely observers of life. When you are determined that you will not allow others to determine your future for you, when you refuse to allow temporary setbacks to defeat you, you are destined for great success. The opportunities will always be there for you.

Life is a mirror of your consistent thoughts.

The habit of taking the line of least resistance makes all rivers and some men crooked.

If you are worried or afraid of anything, there is something in your mental attitude that needs correction.

The simple act of commitment is a powerful magnet for help.
