Never stop until your good becomes better, and your better becomes the best...
I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed; and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying.

A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable...
Plenty of people miss their share of happiness. Not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it...

We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past and become the architect of your future. What are you waiting for?
Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along...

Remember: On the other side of fear, there are great things waiting for you :)
I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I simply believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be...
If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.
Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress...

Fear of failure and fear of the unknown are always defeated by faith. Having faith in yourself, in the process of change, and in the new direction that change sets will reveal your own inner core of steel.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them...
Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.
In this age, which believes that there is a short
cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be
learned is that the most difficult way is, in the
long run, the easiest.

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought... How much longer will we have this right?
Every moment is a golden one for him who has
the vision to recognize it as such.
The problems we face today are because...
The people who work for a living,
are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.
The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.

Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is
unrestrained passion, fire for fire.
Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement... I'm proof of that :)
You will find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people. Why not make earnest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy.

If you want to win, do the ordinary things better than anyone else does - day in and day out...
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day...
