It is those who concentrate on but one thing at a time who advance in this world

... women have their roots in the ground, and often those roots are starved and ravaged, yet there is not a human alive who cannot reach and touch, with... her fingers, the very top of God's rainbow.

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.

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

Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.

All of us have been dying, hour by hour, since the moment we were born. Realizing this, let all things be placed in their proper perspective. . . . Remember, it is always later than you think.

If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward, I will succeed!
