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.

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.

Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all.

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

Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again.

The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them.
