The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.
Be true to yourself. Make each day your masterpiece. Help others. Drink deeply from good books. Make friendship a fine art. Build a shelter against a rainy day. Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.
Don't let yesterday take up too much of today.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
Tell the truth. That way you don't have to remember a story.
Young people need models, not critics.
Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve.
Make each day your masterpiece. Life is now. Life is not later on.
Champions never complain, they are too busy getting better.
Team spirit means you are willing to sacrifice personal considerations for the welfare of all. That defines a team player.
Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.
All of life is peaks and valleys. Don’t let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low.
Success travels in the company of very hard work. There is no trick, no easy way.
There is no substitute for work. Worthwhile results come from hard work and careful planning.
Never try to be better than somebody else. But most importantly, never cease trying to be the best you can be.
If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.
Kindness makes for much better teamwork.
Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating.
I think anyone’s success depends on working hard, Industriousness and Enthusiasm, enjoying what you are doing. You can’t work your best if you’re not enjoying what you are doing. No way you can force yourself to.
