“What the mind can conceive and believe, and the heart desire, you can achieve.”
“If you put off everything till you're sure of it, you'll never get anything done.”
“You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.”
“Be interesting, be enthusiastic... and don't talk too much.”
“When you get up in the morning, you have two choices - either to be happy or to be unhappy. Just choose to be happy”
“When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.”
“If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.”
“There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.”
“Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.”
“Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.”
“Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.”
