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

I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why would the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success.

I'd rather learn how to prevent failure than how to gain success, because for what is success other than a state of mind?

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.

I will persist until I succeed. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.
