Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.

There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake.

We lend power to the things we fear!

No man is beaten until his hope is annihilated, his confidence gone, As long as a man faces life hopefully, confidently, triumphantly, he is not a failure; he is not beaten until he turns his back on life.

Play is as necessary to the perfect development of a child as sunshine is to the perfect development of a plant.

You will find the whole world will change to you when you change your attitude toward it.

No man can hope to accomplish anything great in this world until he throws his whole soul, flings the force of his whole life, into it. It is not enough simply to have a general desire to accomplish something. There is but one way to do that; and that is, to try to be somebody with all the concentrated energy we can muster.
