I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think, and now I know a great secret of life, for I perceive, at last, that all my problems, discouragements , and heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise.

If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward, I will succeed!

Never will I pursue happiness, because it is not a goal, just a by-product, and there is no happiness in having or in getting, only in giving.

In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits.

There are two kinds of discontented in this world, the discontented that works and the discontented that wrings its hands. The first gets what it wants and the second loses what it has. There is no cure for the first but success and there is no cure at all for the second. The very worst of my vices and bad habits will abate of themselves if they are brought to an accounting every day.

I will laugh at the world. And most of all, I will laugh at myself for man is most comical when he takes himself too seriously.

Only a habit can subdue another habit.
