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.
Tomorrow is only found in the calendar of fools.
Nothing is easier than fault finding.
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.
The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
Each problem has a positive side.
I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.
Victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.
You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.
If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward, I will succeed!
