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.
Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along.
The secret of success is to triple your rate of failure.
Act now, for now is all you have.
I will act now. I will act now. I will act now.
Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future.
No, my son, do not aspire for wealth and labor not only to be rich. Strive instead for happiness, to be loved and to love, and most important to acquire peace of mind and serenity.
Who is of so little faith that in a moment of great disaster or heartbreak has not called to his God?
Wealth, my son, should never be your goal in life. Your words are eloquent but they are mere words. True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse.
Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow’s good luck.
Only a habit can subdue another habit.
My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action.
Always render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.
Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.
I will become a firefly and even in the day my glow will be seen in spite of the sun. Let others be as butterflies who preen their wings yet depend on the charity of a flower for life.
And I leave you now, not with sadness but with satisfaction and joy that we came together and walked, arm in arm, through this brief moment of eternity. Who could ask for more?
Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.
I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; Yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; Yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
