Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Believe in yourself, believe in your future.

Expecting the best means that you put your whole heart (i.e. the central essence of your personality) into what you want to accomplish. People are defeated in life not because of lack of ability, but for lack of wholeheartedness. They do not wholeheartedly expect to succeed. Their heart isn't in it, which is to say, they themselves are not fully given.

Put your trust in God and just go calmly on your way.

Motivation is like nutrition. It must be taken daily and in healthy doses to keep it going

The world in which you live is not primarily determined by outward conditions and circumstances but by the thoughts that habitually occupy your mind.

The greatest measure of a human being isn't how he handles himself when things are going well, but how he handles himself when things are going badly, when defeat comes.
