The secret of greatness is simple: do better work than any other man in your field - and keep on doing it.

There are no secrets of success. Success is doing the things you know you should do. Success is not doing the things you know you should not do.

In our behavior, in the words we write and speak, we can become ambassadors of God's inspiration. Whenever we strive to lift up others in ways that are good and noble we are serving as radiating centers for God's inspiration.

Prayer is thinking and thanking. It is thinking of our many blessings and accepting them with a thankful spirit.

The secret of being more vitally alive is to be more aware. Starting today, from this moment, become aware of awareness!

See it big, and keep it simple.

Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest creative thinkers of all time, strongly recommended the habit of meditation in the dark. He wrote: "For I have found in my own experience that it is of no small benefit, when you lie in bed in the dark, to recall in imagination, one after another, the outlines of the form you have been studying." He often awoke to find his problems solved. Da Vinci would often stand silent and motionless before a painting for hours, without using his brush, as though waiting for spiritual guidance.
