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

True happiness lies within you.

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

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.

Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.

Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which has carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. Never has there been a scroll, even such as the one I hold, which so much as a penny or produced a single word of acclamation. Action, alone, is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which will nourish my success. I will act now.
