Already, it is later than you think for your earthly life at best, is only a blink of an eye between two eternities.
I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man.
Each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence.
Never hide behind busy work. It takes just as much energy to fail as it does to succeed.
Always let your reach exceed your grasp.
I will work when failures seek rest.
The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such.
I shall live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.
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.
The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything.
You learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of hope.
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.
And so long as I can laugh, never will I be poor. This then, is one of nature’s greatest gifts and I will waste it no more.
So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist.
It is those who concentrate on but one thing at a time who advance in this world.
My days of whining and complaining about others have come to an end. Nothing is easier than fault finding. All it will do is discolor my personality so that none will want to associate with me. That was my old life. No more.
Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.
Wealth is good when it brings joy to others.
Cherish each hour of this day for it can NEVER return.
Realize how good you really are.
