If you think your lot in life has been hard read “Up From Slavery” by Booker T. Washington, and you may see how fortunate you have been.

No matter where you are now, whatever you can conceive and believe, you can achieve.

You have absolute control over just one thing, your thoughts. This divine gift is the sole means by which you may control your destiny. If you fail to control your mind, you will control nothing else.

Habits are first cobwebs, then cables.

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.

Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.

You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are being most unfairly tested, you are being prepared for great achievement.
