We struggle with the complexities and avoid the simplicities.

Decide that you will not try to do everything at once. That is why time is spread out.

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

Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.

The capacity to be either happy or unhappy is determined by the manner in which you react to whatever happens.

One of the greatest of all principles is that men can do what they think they can do.

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.
