Whatever your mind feeds upon your mind attracts to you.
A person's acts are always in harmony with the dominating thoughts of his or her mind.
Celebrate your success and stand strong when adversity hits, for when the storm clouds come in, the eagles soar while the small birds take cover.
If you are one of those people who believe that hard work and honesty alone will bring riches-perish the thought; because it's not true. Riches, when they come in huge quantities, are never the result of hard work. Riches come if they come at all, in response to definite demands, based upon the application of definite principles, and not by chance or luck.

No one ever is defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
Resolve to throw off the influences of any unfortunate environment, and to build your own life to order.

Fear is the tool of a man-made devil. Self-confident faith in one's self is both the man-made weapon which defeats this devil and the man-made tool which builds a triumphant life. And it is more than that. It is a link to the irresistible forces of the universe which stand behind a man who does not believe in failure and defeat as being anything but temporary experiences.
Attend well to your character, and your reputation will look out for itself.
Lack of loyalty is one of the major causes of failure in every walk of life
Before you can control conditions, you must first control yourself.
