- He who has never failed is he who has never tried.
- Fear will never overtake you if determination to succeed is strong enough.
- The difference between those that fail and those that succeed lies in their habits.
- Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.
- Success lies around the next bend in the road.
- Persist until you succeed.
- Small attempts repeated will complete any undertaking
- Remove from your vocabulary such words as quit, impossible, failure, cannot, unable, hopeless and retreat, for they are the words of fools.
- Each nay you receive will prepare you for the yay! Each frown will prepare you for the smile to come.
- Forget what happened to you, whether good or bad, and welcome the sun of a new day.
- If you persist long enough, you will win.
- Yesterday is buried in the past and you cannot relive it. Think of it no more. Live this day as if it is your last.
- Procrastination must be destroyed with action. Fear must be destroyed with confidence.
- Decide today to be master of your emotions.
- Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions. Strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.
- Cultivate the habit of laughter.
- Whether you are way down with problems or pressures, remember that this too shall pass.
- Do not be so concerned for the things of today because this too will pass.
- Multiply your value an hundred fold. A grain of wheat can be thrown out, fed to swine or planted to bring much more. The difference between you and wheat is that you as an individual choose your value.
- All men must stumble to reach the heights of their potential.
- Action is food and drink that nurtures accomplishments.
- Procrastination keeps you back from success and is born out of fear.
- Do not avoid the tasks of today for tomorrow, for tomorrow will never come.
- It is better to act and fail rather than not act in flounder.
- Without action, the fruit will die on the vine.
- Act now, do not wait on tomorrow for tomorrow is the labor of the lazy.
- Pray for guidance.
