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

I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action, good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day.

Each problem has a positive side.

I am indeed a fortunate man and today's hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I, have departed? Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? Is this another opportunity for me to become the man I know I can be?

Many years ago, when I was just about as complete a failure as one can become, I began to spend a good deal of time in libraries, looking for some answers. I found all the answers I needed in that golden vein of ore that every library has.

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.

In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits.
