No person who can read is ever successful at cleaning out an attic.
People of integrity expect to be believed. They also know time will prove them right and are willing to wait.
My personal recipe for success is- Do what you love and don't look at the clock.
Imagine you had a bank that each morning credited your account with $1,440 - with one condition: whatever part of the $1,440 you failed to use during the day would be erased from your account, and no balance would be carried over. What would you do? You'd draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage. Well, you do have such a bank, and its name is time. Every morning, this bank credits you with 1,440 minutes. And it writes off as forever lost whatever portion you have failed to invest to good purpose.
Problems are inevitable. Misery is a choice.
Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat.
The Lord gave us two ends - one to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most.
Hanging onto resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head.
Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high, look it quarely in the eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.
I advise keeping four feet on the floor and all hands on deck.
Make somebody happy today, and mind your own business
If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don't have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.
Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset.
Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised.
