Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
The most beautiful world is always entered through imagination.
Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Look the world straight in the eye.
We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
