Many men fail because they quit too
soon. They lose faith when the signs
are against them. They do not have the
courage to hold on, to keep fighting in

“impossible,” we very soon would find
the truth of that old saw that nothing
is impossible. Abolish fear and you can
accomplish anything you wish.

the errand.

-- Woodrow Wilson

Feeling gratitude and
not expressing it is like

People are always blaming
their circumstances for what

circumstances. The people

they want, and if they can’t
find them, make them.

-- George Bernard Shaw

The measure of success
is not whether you have
a tough problem to deal
with, but whether it’s the
same problem you had
last year.

It’s not how much you accomplish
in life that much really counts, but
how you give to others. It’s not
how high you build your dreams
that make a difference, but how
high your faith can climb. It’s not
how many goals you reach but
how many lives you touch. It’s not
whom you know that matters, but
who you are inside.

-- Anonymous

Real change comes from within. It
doesn't come from hacking at the leaves

our thought, the fundamental, essential
paradigms, which give definition to our
character and create the lens through
which we see the world.

-- Stephen Covey

If one advances confidently
in the direction of his
dreams, and endeavors to
live the life, which he has
imagined, he will meet with
a success unexpected in
common hours.

 Your success and happiness lie in
you. External conditions are the
accidents of life; it’s outer

you shall form an invincible host
against difficulty.
