The basis of persistence is the Power of Will.
Willpower and desire, when properly combined, make an irresistible pair.
To wish for change will change nothing; To make the decision to take action right now will change everything.
Life without limbs? Or life without limits?
Defeat happens only to those who refuse to try again.
We all start with zero. We all start at the beginning. Do not give up.
Remember: what you think you will become – good or bad, weak or strong, defeated or victorious.
I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools.
I will act now. I will act now. I will act now.
If you have a strong mind and plant in it a firm resolve, you can change your destiny.
When you exercise your will power you release the power of life energy – not when you merely wish passively to be able to obtain an objective.
When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.
We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
Never let the things you can’t do, stop you from doing what you can.
Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual life, fight as long as there is any life in you. Even though you know you are going to be killed, fight till you “are killed.” Don’t die of fright. Die fighting. Don’t go down till you are knocked down.
If the mind is intensely eager, everything can be accomplished – mountains can be crumbled into atoms.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
Whatever you think, that you will be.
Have faith in yourself, all power is in you, be conscious and bring it out.
I have often been afraid, but I would not give in to it. I made myself act as though I was not afraid and gradually my fear disappeared.
