People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives you. It may be better than what you asked for.

Masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

Do not let circumstances defeat you. You can if you think you can.

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him. You lift the relationship thereby to a higher level. The best in the other person begins to flow out toward you as your best flows toward him. In the meeting of the best in each a higher unity of understanding is established.

Develop a tremendous faith in God and that will give you a humble yet soundly realistic faith in yourself.
