To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.

The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each but in the amount of intelligent work.

I will commit not the terrible crime of aiming too low. I will do the work that a failure will not do. I will always let my reach exceed my grasp.

A day merely survived is no cause for celebration.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now.

Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along.
