Cultivate the habit of laughter.
Take great comfort in knowing that ALL great feats are accomplished one small step at a time.
He who worries about calamities suffers them twice over.
I determine to render more and better service, each day, than I am being paid to render. Those that reach the top are the ones who are not content with doing only what is required of them.
It is those who concentrates on but one thing at a time who advance in this world. The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside his or her specialty or foolishly dissipates his or her individuality.
Now I know that patience and time can do more than even strength and passion. The years of frustration are ready to be harvested. All that I have managed to accomplish, and all that I hope to accomplish, has been and will be by that plodding, patient, persevering process which builds the ant heap, particle by particle, thought by thought, step by step.
Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find "tomorrow" on the calendars of fools.
Do the very best that you can, in the things you do best, and you will know in thy soul, that you are the greatest success in the world.
I will form good habits and become their slaves.
Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no mater how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles
The wind is never for the sailor who knows not to what port he is bound.
Many succumb to despair and fail without realizing that they already possess all the tools needed to acquire great wealth.
Laugh and your life will be lengthened for this is the great secret of long life.
I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why would the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?
