So long as there is breath in me, that long I will persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles on success; if I persist long enough I will win.

Use wisely your power of choice.

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

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

The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement

There are two kinds of discontented in this world, the discontented that works and the discontented that wrings its hands. The first gets what it wants and the second loses what it has. There is no cure for the first but success and there is no cure at all for the second. The very worst of my vices and bad habits will abate of themselves if they are brought to an accounting every day.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
