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.

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

Don't let your success of today lay you into complacency for tomorrow. For that is the worst form of failure.

You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success.

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.
