When the student is ready, the master appears. Buddhist Proverb We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them. Carl Jung Sometimes our light goes out but is blown again into flame by an encounter with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light. Albert Schweitzer In the faces of men and women, I see God. Walt Whitman In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty ... in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe. Deepak Chopra The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply. Kahlil Gibran Strength lies in differences, not in similarities. Stephen Covey You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing on. Heraclitus We are the opening verse of the opening page of the chapter of endless possibilities. Rudyard Kipling It is vain to do with more what can be done with less. William of Occam Take a rest. A field that has rested gives a beautiful crop. Ovid Every time we leave home and go to another place, we open up the possibility of having something wonderful happen to us. Joseph Dispenza If you are willing to do more than you are paid to do, eventually you will be paid to do more than you do. Origin Unknown Everyone who got to where they are had to begin where they were. Richard Paul Evans Dont squander the gift of extra time by spending it on something thats not really important. Commit yourself to spending every minute of it on the goal you want to accomplish. Michael Masterson

Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless. Jamie Paolinetti Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down. Ray Bradbury You can be anything you want to be, if only you believe with sufficient conviction and act in accordance with your faith; for whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. Napoleon Hill Life moves forward in one direction only, and each day we are faced with an actual set of circumstances, not with what might have been, not with what we might have done, but with what is, and with where we are now, and from this point we must proceed; not from where we were, not from where we wish we were, but from where we are. Richard L. Evans Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. John Keywood Victory belongs to the most persevering. Napolean Bonaparte I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant. Martin Luther King, Jr. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself. Galileo Galilei Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Origin Unknown In three words I can sum up everything Ive learned about life - it goes on. Robert Frost Be here now. Ram Dass The key to success is to create a vision of who you want to be, and then picture it as if it has already happened. Arnold Schwarzenegger The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein

The only difference between a thought and physical reality is time, passion, and physical activity. Peter McWilliams Arrange whatever pieces come your way. Virginia Woolf Live as you will have wished to have lived when you are dying. Christian Furchtegott Gellert Most people would rather be certain theyre miserable, than risk being happy. Dr. Robert Anthony We are, each of us, angels with only one wing, and we can only fly embracing each other. Luciano Decrescenzo Yes, even as you read this the universe is plotting to make you utterly happy, healthy and successful, and there isnt a thing you can do about it. Steve Bhaerman Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. George Bernard Shaw It is not length of life, but depth of life. Ralph Waldo Emerson We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible. C. Malesherbes Victory belongs to the most persevering. Napoleon Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, I cant afford it, your subconscious mind works to make it true. Select a better thought. Decree, Ill buy it. I accept it in my mind. Dr. Joseph Murphy Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. Wayne Dyer Listen a hundred times. Ponder a thousand times. Speak once. Origin Unknown Ignore the rules. There are no rules. There are no regulations. You get out and you do what you need to do because you believe in what youre doing. John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten) Most people give up when theyre about to achieve success. They quit on the one-yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touch down. H. Ross Perot

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. Jim Rohn Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some dont turn up at all. Sam Ewig When anyone has offended me, I try to raise my soul high that the offense cannot reach me. Rene Descartes Dont let your fears stand in the way of your dreams. Origin Unknown I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. Anne Frank The past does not equal the future. Anthony Robbins There is no security on this Earth, there is only opportunity. General Douglas MacArthur Smile! And the world will smile with you! Origin Unknown There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval. George Santayana When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly. Barbara Winter Life isnt about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. George Bernard Shaw A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Sir Winston Churchill Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called Present. Origin Unknown Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. Mark Twain Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. Elbert Hubbard

It is in the everyday and the commonplace that we learn patience, acceptance, and contentment. Richard J. Foster Your talent is Gods gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God. Leo Buscaglia Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least. Goethe If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours. Henry David Thoreau The key to motivation is motive. Stephen Covey Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, love is knowing I am everything, and between the two my life moves. Nisargadatta Maharaj A man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing and doing it very well, never loses his self respect. George Bernard Shaw Be governed by your internal compass, not by some clock on the wall. Stephen Covey How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak - because some day you will have been all of these. George W. Carver Change can allow you to accomplish a goal every once in a while, but consistent achievement happens only if you love what you are doing. Bart Conner We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee. Marian Wright Edelman Learn how to fail intelligently, for failing is one of the greatest arts in the world. Charles Kettering To know and not to do is not yet to know. Zen Saying To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can. Og Mandino

Once you say youre going to settle for second, thats what happens to you in life. John F. Kennedy We are new every day. Irene Claremont de Castillego The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Lao Tzu I can take the next thing that comes along. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs. Henry Ford There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.

Walter Anderson I look back on my life like a good days work; it is done and I am satisfied with it. Grandma Moses We need only provide the spark to light the Universes fire; to hoist up our sails so that they can be filled with its magical winds. Mike Dooley The cure for a life of emptiness is a life of gratitude. Raymond Aaron Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. Tony Robbins Too many people spend money they havent earned, to buy things they dont want, to impress people they dont like. Will Rogers Your life works to the degree you keep your agreements.

Whenever you find yourself anxious or upset about a business or personal situation, it will be remarkably helpful to think about a reality of life that seems to escape people who are under stress: Things change!

You can have everything in life you want if youll just help enough other people get what they want. Zig Ziglar Love is a bird, she needs to fly. Madonna The greatest mistake you can make in life is continually fearing that youll make one. Elbert Hubbard If you dont like something, change it. If you cant change it, change your attitude. Maya Angelou People are like stained glass windows, they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross Well done is better than well said. Benjamin Franklin It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. Charles Darwin People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. Albert Einstein You can do what you want to do. David Thomas The best way to predict the future is to create it. Peter Drucker The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

It is not something to be waited for, but rather something to be achieved.

The creative mechanism within you is impersonal. It will work automatically and impersonally to achieve goals which you yourself set for it. Present it with success goals, and it functions as a success mechanism. Present it with negative goals, and it operates just as impersonally and just as faithfully as a failure mechanism. Dr. Maxwell Maltz Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Matthew 7:7 You must go after your wish. As soon as you start to pursue a dream, your life wakes up and everything has meaning. Barbara Sher The sage does not hoard, and thereby bestows. The more he lives for others, the greater his life. The more he gives to others, the greater his abundance. Lao Tzu The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts ... take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature. Marcus Aurelius When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turn to music ... and what is it to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth ... Kahlil Gibran Only as we connect with our conscience can we create the fire within. Stephen Covey Live in the present, allow the flow of the universe to deliver your dreams and enjoy the ride. Austin Beasley A peacock who sits on his tail is just another turkey. Origin Unknown Happiness is inward, and not outward; and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are. Henry Van Dyke Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgement difficult. Hypocrites Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire, which transcends everything. Napoleon Hill

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. Peter Drucker Fortify yourself with contentment, for this is an impregnable fortress. Epictetus To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life. Robert Louis Stevenson Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes a goal. Pamela Vaull Starr Its much easier to ride a horse in the direction it is going. Marshall Thurber Sow a thought, reap an act. Sow an act, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap a character. Sow a character, reap an eternal destiny. David O. McKay There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living. David Starr Jordan The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain. Colin Wilson Do your own thinking independently. Be the chess player, not the chess piece. Ralph Charell What we have done for ourselves dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. Albert Pike When someone does something good, applaud! Youll make two people happy. Samuel Goldwyn Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. Buddha Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing, that we see too late the one that is open. Alexander Graham Bell Catch a passion for helping others and a richer life will come back to you. William H. Danforth Light tomorrow with today. Elizabeth Barrett Browning I will not should myself today. Origin Unknown

When two or more people coordinate in a spirit of harmony and work toward a definite objective or purpose, they place themselves in a position, through the alliance, to absorb power directly from the great storehouse of Infinite Intelligence. Napoleon Hill Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. Don Marquis Nature gives all, without reservation, and loses nothing; man or woman, grasping all, loses everything. James Allen The value of humour is almost a no brainer when you think about it. It can help you get out of a tough spot... Reduce tension... And put you in a more relaxed frame of mind. Simply put, when you learn to lighten up, the achievement of almost any goal will go more smoothly. Robert L. Cox Its never too late to be who you might have been. George Eliot If everythings under control, youre going too slow. Mario Andretti As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might. Marian Anderson No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes. William E. Gladstone Imagination is everything. It is the preview of lifes coming attractions. Albert Einstein I do not know what the future holds, but I do know who holds the future. Origin Unknown I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. Oliver Wendel Holmes, Sr. Success isnt permanent and failure isnt fatal. Origin Unknown If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can`t buy. Origin Unknown Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. John Wooden Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent. Marilyn Vos Savant

How we spend our days is of course how we spend our lives. Annie Dillard Most people are about as happy as they make up their mind to be. Abraham Lincoln Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. George Bernard Shaw Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. Leo Tolstoy Do what you love and the money will follow. Marsha Sinetar The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible. Arthur C. Clarke The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a persons determination. Tommy Lasorda Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. Amelia Earhart Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Calvin Coolidge He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything. Origin Unknown Whatever you are, be a good one. Abraham Lincoln Do or do not, there is no try. Yoda Wherever we are and whatever we are doing, it is possible to learn something that can enrich our lives and the lives of others. ... No ones education is ever complete. Sir John Templeton Masters see their creations before they are created. Dr. Dennis R. Deaton The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. William James

Inspiration leads to motivation; it is your spirits desire to grow and evolve. Robert Gregoire Any path is only a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you. Carlos Castaneda An integral being knows without going, sees without looking, and accomplishes without doing. Lao Tzu The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder. Ralph W. Sockman When a thing has been said and said well, have no scruple. Take it and copy it. Anatole France Lifes a voyage thats homeward bound. Herman Melville So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the path of each mans genius contracts itself to a very few hours. Ralph Waldo Emerson One doesnt discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. Andre Gide A person who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. Albert Einstein You dont get to choose how youre going to die, or when. You can only decide how youre going to live. Now! Joan Baez Ive never been poor, only broke. Being poor is a frame of mind. Being broke is a temporary condition. Mike Todd Weve all heard that we have to learn from our mistakes, but I think its more important to learn from successes. If you learn only from your mistakes, you are inclined to learn only errors. Norman Vincent Peale Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. William Hazlitt To be free, to be happy and fruitful, can only be attained through sacrifice of many common but overestimated things. Robert Henri Genius is only a superior power of seeing. John Ruskin Named must your fear be before banish it you can. Yoda from Star Wars

May we never let the things we cant have, or dont have, or shouldnt have, spoil the enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. Richard L. Evans The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do. Origin Unknown Courage is grace under pressure. Ernest Hemingway Make your recovery the first priority in your life. Robin Norwood Perseverance is not a long race, it is many short races one after another. Walter Elliot Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. Helen Keller Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies. Nelson Mandella There is only one journey: going inside yourself. Rainer Maria Rilke Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find his right road. Dag Hammarskjold Action is the foundational key to all success. Pablo Picasso You must begin to understand, therefore, that the present state of your bank account, your sales, your health, your social life, your position at work, etc., is nothing more than the physical manifestation of your previous thinking. If you sincerely wish to change or improve your results in the physical world, you must change your thoughts, and you must change them IMMEDIATELY. Bob Proctor Be thankful for what you have; youll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you dont have, you will never, ever have enough. Oprah Winfrey Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. Dale Carnegie To keep the body in good health is a duty... Otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. Buddha Everyone can have a balanced life. You just need to want it... And act to achieve it. MaryEllen Tribby

Youve got to ask. Asking is, in my opinion, the worlds most powerful and neglected secret to success and happiness. Percy Ross We come this way once. We can either tiptoe through life and hope that we get to death without being too badly bruised or we can live a full, complete life achieving our goals and realizing our wildest dreams. Bob Proctor To fly as fast as thought, to be anywhere there is, you must first begin by knowing that you have already arrived. Richard Bach You cant be poor enough to help the poor. Eva Gregory If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done. Dale Carnegie Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely. Auguste Rodin Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. Origin Unknown Hide not your talents. They for use were made. Whats a sundial in the shade? Benjamin Franklin Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. Its not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; its when youve had everything to do, and youve done it. Margaret Thatcher The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining. John F. Kennedy I plant, nurture and bring light to trees that I dont expect to stand under. Jill Fischer There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want, and after that to enjoy it. Logan Pearsall Smith It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow. Robert H. Goddard Your attitude determines your altitude. Zig Ziglar Experience is what you get when you dont get what you want. Dan Stanford

Our life is what our thoughts make it. Marcus Aurelius Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him. Aldous Huxley Faced with the choice between changing ones mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. John Kenneth Galbraith Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them. Albert Einstein Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it. Publilius Syrus Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do. Confucius When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Origin Unknown The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. Ralph Waldo Emerson There is good and bad surrounding me in this world, I choose to embrace the good. Rod Berting Dream as if youll live forever. Live as if youll die today. James Dean If at first you dont succeed, try, try again. W.C. Fields This above all, to thine own self be true. William Shakespeare Hope springs eternal. Alexander Pope You can complain because roses have thorns or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. Ziggy Even if youre on the right track, youll get run over if you just sit there. Will Rogers It has been said that [the] picturing power of the mind is the greatest gift that God has ever given to man. It has the ability to construct images of success before the actual experiences are born. It can paint pictures that will fire our wills and exalt our spirits. This ability to travel ahead of our own success can draw us on with the greatest pleasure towards the most worthwhile objectives. Sterling w. Sill

Vision is the fundamental force that drives everything else in our lives. Stephen Covey If you knew everything was really all right, and that it has a happy ending, you would not feel trepidations about your future. Abraham-Hicks God does not command that we do great things, only little things with great love. Mother Teresa Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment ... intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power. And when we introduce an intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, we put this infinite organizing power to work for us. Deepak Chopra A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. Confucius Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. Storm Jameson There are no classes in life for beginners: right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult. Rainer Maria Rilke Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away. Thomas Fuller I believe that one of lifes greatest risks is never daring to risk. Oprah Winfrey If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year. Today should always be our most wonderful day. Thomas Dreier Failure is often the line of least persistence. Zig Ziglar Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Dale Carnegie There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity. Samuel Johnson Only those who are asleep make no mistakes. Ingvar Kamprad There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Only by discussing ourselves, holding back nothing, only by being willing to take advice and accept direction [can] we set foot on the road to straight thinking, solid honesty, and genuine humility. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions The wisest mind has something yet to learn. George Santayana If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive. Eleonora Duse Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out. James Bryant Conant Whoever you are, there is some younger person who thinks you are perfect. There is some work that will never be done if you dont do it. There is someone who would miss you if you were gone. There is a place that you alone can fill. Jacob M. Braude She said she usually cried at least once each day, not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful and life was so short. Brian Andress Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence. Vince Lombardi When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. Its to enjoy each step along the way. Dr. Wayne Dyer What you would do willingly for free is the only thing you should ever do for money. Raymond Aaron There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread. Mother Teresa Try as you might, you cant control the things that happen to you. You can only control your reaction to them. Michael Masterson If you are distressed by anything internal, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to the view you have of that thing. How you view anything is a power you can revoke at any moment. Marcus Aurelius Every day, we are given dozens of choices - from which foods to eat to which parts of a newspaper to read to which words to say in any given conversation. Many of those choices seem to be insignificant, but when you string them all together they determine the quality of our lives. Michael Masterson

What we think or what we know or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do. John Ruskin If a man for whatever reason has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself. Jacques-Yves Cousteau Ive always been the opposite of a paranoid. I operate as if everyone is part of a plot to enhance my well being. Stan Dale Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can. Richard Bach Being alive is a joy and a privilege. Life flows easier when you greet each new day with a smile. Thuy Vu A true handicap is what we dont do with what we have, not what we cant do with what we dont have. Christopher Brewer Never let someone elses opinion of you become your reality. Origin Unknown What you can do, or dream you can, begin it; boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Every man dies. Not every man truly lives. Braveheart (Movie) We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. Jawaharlal Nehru No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an unchartered land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. Helen Keller Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them? Abraham Lincoln If not us, who, if not now, when? Origin Unknown Things do not change, we change. Henry David Thoreau People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I dont believe in circumstances. The people who get on in the world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they cant find them, make them. George Bernard Shaw

Tough times never last but tough people do. Robert Schuller The time is always right to do what is right. Martin Luther King Jr. It is not enough to have a good mind, the main thing is to use it well. Rene Descartes You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down. Mary Pickford Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort. Franklin D. Roosevelt When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark; you dont throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer. Corrie Ten Boom Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait. The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply dont count. Dr. Robert Anthony Live well ... Laugh often ... Love much. Origin Unknown The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Walter Bagehot What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Henry David Thoreau Feel the fear and do it anyway. Susan Jeffers Love conquers all. Virgil The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. William A. Ward Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. Paul Boese He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the maze of the most busy life.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. George Bernard Shaw Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof. Kahlil Gibran If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. Thomas J. Watson The miracle is this - the more we share, the more we have. Leonard Nimoy Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purpose. Kenneth Hildebrand Happiness is a state of activity. Aristotle Doing more of what doesnt work wont make it work any better. Charles J. Givens Discontent is the first necessity of progress. Thomas Edison Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Souza Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. Ty Boyd It is far better for a man to go wrong in freedom than to go right in chains. Thomas H. Huxley Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination. Oscar Wilde No virtue is more universally accepted as a test of good character than trustworthiness. Harry Emerson Fosdick We dont receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take us or spare us. Marcel Proust The only urgent thing is that we make a beginning and keep trying. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions Happiness is not in our circumstances but in ourselves.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. Aristotle I couldnt wait for success, so I went ahead without it. Jonathan Winters Goals are dreams with deadlines. Diana Scharf Hunt Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows. Ben Stein Find something to do that really inspires you, that keeps you up at night, that you simply love to do. Michael Masterson Maybe you made a mistake thats been haunting you. Or you never got around to that thank you. So you have a choice. A lifetime of nagging regret (if its lasted this long, it aint going away) - or taking a moment now to deal with it. Charlie Byrne If you want to achieve a high goal, youre going to have to take some chances. Alberto Salazar All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. Wayne Dyer You want to set a goal that is big enough that in the process of achieving it you become someone worth becoming. Jim Rohn You will never leave where you are, until you decide where youd rather be. Dexter Yager Success comes in cans; failure comes in cants.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. Sir Winston Churchill Use what talent you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best. Henry Van Dyke Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death. James F. Bymes Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Thomas Jefferson Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time. Thomas Edison The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. Eden Phillpotts Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. Origin Unknown The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. E.E. Cummings Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves; for they shall never cease to be amused. Origin Unknown Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, youll land among the stars. Les Brown Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Thomas Edison People dont care how much you know until they know how much you care. John C. Maxwellzz The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. Vince Lombardi Work like you dont need the money, love like youve never been hurt and dance like no one is watching. Satchel Paige We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didnt do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Mark Twain If you can dream it, you can do it. Walt Disney Peace is essentially a function of putting first things first. Stephen Covey First say to yourself what you would be, and then do what you have to do. Epictetus Like two golden birds perched on the selfsame tree, intimate friends, the ego and the self dwell in the same body. The former eats the sweet and sour fruits of the tree of life, while the latter looks on in detachment. The Mundaka Upanishad If you are willing to admit faults, you have one less fault to admit. Origin Unknown One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure. William Feather Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work. H.L. Hunt I have an irrepressible desire to live till I can be assured that the world is a little better for my having lived in it. Abraham Lincoln Every problem has within it the seeds of its own solution. If you dont have any problems, you dont get any seeds. Norman Vincent Peale Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances; it was somebodys name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day it would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect. Ralph Waldo Emerson A holiday is like recharging your car battery. If you set up the connections wrong, no energy goes into the battery. If you do it right, you return at full charge and your brain is able to work the way it was designed to. Gord Johansen If you dont make mistakes, youre not working on hard enough problems. And thats a big mistake. Frank Wilczek

As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble. Ralph Waldo Emerson Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. Albert Einstein A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. Father James Keller As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world... as in being able to remake ourselves. Mahatma Gandhi To accomplish great things, we must not only dream, but act. Bill Blackman It is no use waiting for your ship to come in unless you have sent one out. Belgian Proverb You can come out of the furnace of trouble two ways: if you let it consume you, you come out a cinder; but there is a kind of metal which refuses to be consumed, and comes out a star. Jean Church If I am through learning, I am through. John Wooden There are two types of people - anchors and motors. You want to lose the anchors and get with the motors because the motors are going somewhere and theyre having more fun. The anchors will just drag you down. Wyland Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; its who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment. Anthony Robbins How do you know if your mission in life is finished? If youre still alive, it isnt. Richard Bach Obstacles are like wild animals... They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them, they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.

Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear. Anthony Robbins They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. Andy Warhol What you get by achieving your goals is as important as what you become by achieving your goals. Henry David Thoreau Never give up on your dream... Perseverance is all important. If you dont have the desire and the belief in yourself to keep trying after youve been told you should quit, youll never make it. Tawni ODell If your ship doesnt come in, swim out to meet it. Jonathan Winters Every negative event contains within it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. Napoleon Hill The heights by great men reached and kept, were not obtained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow How poor we truly are when we measure wealth in monetary terms; overlooking the true value of ourselves and those we love. Kelly Comeau The road to success is always under construction and full of detours. Enjoy the ride. Origin Unknown Be a good listener, opportunity sometimes knocks very softly. Origin Unknown I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near. Margaret Thatcher Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. Ralph Waldo Emerson When God closes a door, he opens a window. Origin Unknown We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time. Marion Wright Edelman

Winning isnt everything; its the only thing. Vince Lombardi You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. Kahlil Gibran In the end, its not the years in your life that count. Its the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln Better to light a candle than curse the darkness. Eleanor Roosevelt The only good luck many great men ever had was being born with the ability and determination to overcome bad luck. Channing Pollock Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. Origin Unknown Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and youll help them to become what they are capable of becoming. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Never give in, never give in - never, never, never. Sir Winston Churchill The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. Vince Lombardi Minds are like parachutes. They only function when they are open. Thomas Dewar To love what you do and feel that it matters, how on earth could anything be more fun. Katherine Graham You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however. Richard Bach Always do right; this will gratify some and astonish the rest. Mark Twain Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Henry David Thoreau Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless. Mother Teresa Men give me credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night, it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then ... people are pleased to call [the effort that I made] the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labour and thought. Alexander Hamilton For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7 Be happy with what you have while pursuing what you want. The key to happiness is not more. Jim Rohn We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. T.S. Elliot Solitude, in the sense of being often alone, is essential to any depth of meditation or of character; and solitude in the presence of natural beauty and grandeur is the cradle of thought and aspirations which are not only good for the individual, but which society could ill do without. John S. Mill What you alone can contribute, no one else can contribute. Stephen Covey In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia. Charles Lindbergh Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible. Marcel Proust After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box. Italian Proverb Chance favours only the prepared mind. Louis Pasteur Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow... Lawrence Clark Powell When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. Helen Keller

You will always gravitate to that which you secretly most love. Men do not attain that which they want but that which they are. James Allen For an idea which, at first, does not seem absurd, there is no hope. Albert Einstein We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life. Edwin Markham This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfection. Saint Augustine The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. George Bernard Shaw Live not ones life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus We can neither think nor act to good purpose until the habit of self-restraint has become automatic. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. Mahatma Gandhi When youre happy for no reason, you bring happiness to your everyday experiences rather than try to extract happiness from them. Its not that your life always looks perfect - its that however it looks, youll still be happy. Marci Shimoff A great turning point in our lives came when we sought for humility as something we really wanted, rather than as something we must have. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling. Margaret B. Runbeck Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Ralph Waldo Emerson

The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him - and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires. J. Paul Getty There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. Albert Einstein I absolutely believe that people, unless coached, never reach their maximum capabilities. Bob Nardelli The tragedy of life doesnt lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach. Benjamin Mays One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. Dale Carnegie If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, then you are an excellent leader. Dolly Parton There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty. Wallace D. Wattles You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher standards for yourself and then by doing everything possible to live up to those standards. Brian Tracy I am happy and content because I think I am. Atain-Rene Lesage You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this. Henry David Thoreau We have an innate desire to endlessly learn, grow, and develop. We want to become more than what we already are. Once we yield to this inclination for continuous and never-ending improvement, we lead a life of endless accomplishments and satisfaction. Chuck Gallozzi

For every failure, theres an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a road block, take a detour. Mary Kay Ash Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in life has a purpose. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross M.D. Create your future from your future, not your past. Werner Erhard Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want. Bernard M. Baruch Everyone has a defining moment. Either you define the moment or the moment will define you. Origin Unknown Use the stumbling blocks of life as stepping stones to success. Origin Unknown If you must make a mistake, at least make a new one. Origin Unknown If a man is called to be a streetscaper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetscaper who did his job well. Martin Luther King, Jr. Every day in every way I am getting better and better. Origin Unknown Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don`t quit. Conrad Hilton Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire. William Yeats Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. Mahatma Gandhi Success leaves clues. Jim Rohn When one door closes another opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. Alexander Graham Bell And now here is my secret, a very simple secret. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Dale Carnegie The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. Dolly Parton What we see depends mainly on what we look for. Sir John Lubbock When it is dark enough, you can see the stars. Charles A. Beard If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. Abraham Maslow Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Leo Buscaglia There is nothing to fear, but fear itself. Franklin D. Roosevelt Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. Frank Outlaw Argue for your limitations, and sure enough theyre yours. Richard Bach Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. Eleanor Roosevelt The challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves. Stephen Covey He who hesitates is lost. Proverb There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesnt mind who gets the credit.

Luke 6:37 Quality of life depends on what happens between stimulus and response. Stephen Covey Nothing is, unless our thinking makes it so. William Shakespeare There is just one life for each of us: our own. Euripides Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind ... what we sow is what we reap. And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success. Deepak Chopra Failure to prepare is preparing to fail. Benjamin Franklin If you dont want to feel great about whats going on, you can always choose to feel great in spite of whats going on. Ralph Marston Be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. Henry Van Dyke We make our fortunes, and we call them fate.
