I will smile at friend and foe alike and make every effort to find, in him or her, a quality to praise, now that I realize the deepest yearning of human nature is the craving to be appreciated.
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.
Each problem has a positive side.
A day merely survived is no cause for celebration.
I will walk where failures fear to walk.
Work as though you would live forever, and live as though you would die today. Go another mile!
Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.
Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now.
No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!
The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each but in the amount of intelligent work.
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
Tomorrow is only found in the calendar of fools.
I will act now. I will act now. I will act now.
To be always intending to make a new and better life but never to find time to set about it is as to put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day to the next until you're dead.
