Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.

And so long as I can laugh, never will I be poor. This then, is one of nature's greatest gifts and I will waste it no more.

Sound character provides the power with which a person may ride the emergencies of life instead of being overwhelmed by them. Failure is... the highway to success.

You learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of hope.

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.

Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.

The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
