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.

The greatest legacy we can leave our children is happy memories.

Today I will be the master of my emotions.

The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such.

You will move in the direction you are facing.

I will keep a smile on my face and in my heart even when it hurts today.

Never hide behind busy work. It takes just as much energy to fail as it does to succeed.
