Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.

So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist.

The greatest secret in the world is that you only have to be a small measurable amount better than mediocrity ...and you've got it made.

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.

I will not allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure.

Let your actions always speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress. The next time you are tempted to boast, just place your fist in a full pail of water, and when you remove it, the hole remaining will give you a correct measure of your importance.

You learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of hope.
