Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
Don’t let your success of today lull you into complacency for tomorrow. For that is the worst form of failure.
What is past is past. You can do nothing about yesterday and last month and the failures of last year, but you can do everything toward making tomorrow and the rest of your life what you always dreamed it could be.
Success and rest don’t sleep together.
All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath – so what does that make today worth?
A smile remains the most inexpensiv gift I can bestow on anyone and yet its powers can vanquish kingdoms.
Remember that the most difficult tasks are consummated, not by a single explosive burst of energy or effort, but by the constant daily application of the best you have within you.
Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again.
Practice the art of patience for nature never acts in haste.
I will keep a smile on my face and in my heart even when it hurts today.
So long as I can laugh, never will I be poor.
Laugh at yourself for man is most comical when he takes himself too seriously.
You need not spend your life wallowing in failure, ignorance, grief, poverty, shame and self-pity. There is a better way to live.
Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.
I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts.
I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action, good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day.
In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits.
The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement.
Each day will be triumphant only when your smiles bring forth smiles from others.
I will persist until I succeed!
