My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action.
You will move in the direction you are facing.
Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again.
Few things are necessary to make the wise man happy while no amount of material wealth would satisfy a fool. I am not a fool.
Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.
Never hide behind busy work. It takes just as much energy to fail as it does to succeed.
If I persist long enough I will win.
I will act now. I will act now. I will act now.
All of us have been dying, hour by hour, since the moment we were born. Realizing this, let all things be placed in their proper perspective. . . . Remember, it is always later than you think.
Action will destroy your procrastination.
I will live this day as if it is my last. …I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday’s misfortunes, Yesterday’s defeats, yesterday’s aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?
Today I begin a new life. Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity. Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.
Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it.
Wealth is good when it brings joy to others.
