Now I know that patience and time can do more than even strength and passion. The years of frustration are ready to be harvested. All that I have managed to accomplish, and all that I hope to accomplish, has been and will be by that plodding, patient, persevering process which builds the ant heap, particle by particle, thought by thought, step by step.

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.

Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.

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.

I'd rather learn how to prevent failure than how to gain success, because for what is success other than a state of mind?

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

Pay less attention to what you hear about someone, and more to what you learn about them...as you make the effort.
