Victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath--so what does that make today worth?

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.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids.

Who is of so little faith that in a moment of great disaster or heartbreak has not called to his God?

No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!

Many years ago, when I was just about as complete a failure as one can become, I began to spend a good deal of time in libraries, looking for some answers. I found all the answers I needed in that golden vein of ore that every library has.
