If you must let someone down, be sure it isn’t the friend who helped you up when you were down.

Worry is a state of mind based upon fear. It works slowly, but persistently. It is insidious and subtle. Step by step it “digs itself in” until it paralyzes ones reasoning faculty, destroys self-confidence and initiative. Worry is a form of sustained fear caused by indecision therefore it is a state of mind which can be controlled.

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

You might find it necessary to 'snap' out of your mental inertia, moving slowly at first, then increasing your speed, until you gain complete control over your will. Be persistent no matter how slowly you may, at first, have to move. With persistence will come success.

Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind's eye, and you will be drawn toward it.

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.
