Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday.

Today I begin a new life. Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity. Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.

Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity, but with it you can accomplish miracles.

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.

The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each but in the amount of intelligent work.

The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything.

So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist.
