Failure is an event, it is not a person.

Take one cup of love, two cups of loyalty, three cups of forgiveness, four quarts of faith and one barrel of laughter. Take love and loyalty and mix them thoroughly with faith; blend with tenderness, kindness and understanding. Add friendship and hope. Sprinkle abundantly with laughter. Bake it with sunshine. Wrap it regularly with lots of hugs. Serve generous helpings daily.

If it's a principle, it's a winner. If it's a tactic, it's a loser.

That's exactly the way parents develop positive, successful kids. Don't look for the flaws, warts, and blemishes. Look for the gold, not for the dirt; the good, not the bad. Look for the positive aspects of life. Like everything else, the more good qualities we look for in our children, the more good qualities we are going to find.

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great

You build a successful career, regardless of your field of endeavor, by the dozens of little things you do on and off the job.

The main reason for people's lack of success is their willingness to give up what they want most of all, for what they want right now!
