The greatest weapon we have to combat stress is the ability to choose our thoughts.

For the moment, what we attend to is reality.

Mankind's common instinct for reality has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism.

Our esteem for facts has not neutralized in us all religiousness. It is itself almost religious. Our scientific temper is devout.

It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.

Act the part and you will become the part.

Anything you may hold firmly in your imagination can be yours.
