I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; Yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; Yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

The secret of success is to triple your rate of failure.

I shall live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.

The greatest secret in the world is that you only have to be a small measurable amount better than mediocrity ...and you've got it made.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success.

Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.

I will persist until I succeed. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.
