Fortunate is the person who has developed the self-control to steer a straight course towards his objectives in life, without being swayed from his purpose by either commendation or condemnation.

When adversity overtakes you, it pays to be thankful it was not worse instead of worrying over your misfortune.

There is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose, or definite goal at which to aim.

Nothing was ever created by a human being that was not first created in the imagination through desire and then transformed into reality through concentration.

You don't have to be very brilliant. You don't have to have such a wonderful education. You can be an outstanding success if you will only take what little you have, whether it's little or much, and start using it, putting it into operation, doing something about it, and doing something with it. And, of course, that calls for initiative.

Within every adversity is an equal and opposite benefit.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you satisfied with where you are and the direction you are going? If not, take control of your life and change whatever needs to be changed. You and only you have the power to do this. You can change your world!
