Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.

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.

Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now.

My procrastination which has held me back was born of fear ... now I know that to conquer fear I must always act without hesitation and the flutters in my heart will vanish. Now I know that action reduces the lion of terror.... I will walk where the failure fears to walk.

You do not live in a vacuum nor can you harvest the better fruits of life without help and ENCOURAGEMENT from others.

I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand.

Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.
