Do all things with love.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

Beginning today treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care kindness and understanding you can muster and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

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.

For now you know one of the greatest principles of success; if you persist long enough you will win.

Never feel shame for trying and failing for he who has never failed is he who has never tried.

You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity and the sour sound of whining.

I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.

It is those who concentrates on but one thing at a time who advance in this world. The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside his or her specialty or foolishly dissipates his or her individuality.

AI will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.

Today I begin new life. I will greet this Monday with love in my heart.

Cherish each hour of this day for it can never return.

Do that which you dread and cherish those victories with pride.

Always let your reach exceed your grasp.

If I persist long enough I will win.

The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement.

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that each task no matter how menial or boring brings you closer to achieving your dreams.

There is an immeasurable distance between late and too late.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.

A smile remains the most inexpensive gift I can bestow on anyone and yet its powers can vanquish kingdoms.

Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

You are not the momentary whim of a careless creator experimenting in the laboratory of life. . . You were made with a purpose.

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

Always render more and better service than is expected of you no matter what your task may be.

Today I begin a new life. I will greet this day with love in my heart.

So long as there is breath in me, that long I will persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles on success; if I persist long enough I will win.

Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.

Failure is a man's inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed it strong enough.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Work as though you would live forever, and live as though you would die today.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them.

To be always intending to make a new and better life but never to find time to set about it is as to put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day to the next until you're dead.

Always render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.

I will form good habits and become their slave. And how will I accomplish this difficult feat? Through these scrolls it will be done, for each scroll contains a principle which will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one which will bring me closer to success.

The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such.

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.

Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.

Do not listen to those who weep and complain for their disease is contagious.

I am rare, and there is value in all rarity; therefore, I am valuable.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

It is those who concentrate on but one thing at a time who advance in this world.

Practice the art of patience for nature never acts in haste.

Sound character provides the power with which a person may ride the emergencies of life instead of being overwhelmed by them.

Each day is a special gift from God and while life may not always be fair you must never allow the pains hurdles and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future.

Tomorrow is only found in the calendar of fools.

Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.

Sound character provides the power with which a person may ride the emergencies of life instead of being overwhelmed by them. Failure is... the highway to success.

Never settle for the crumbs of life.

I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.

Pay less attention to what you HEAR about someone, and more to what you LEARN about them...as you make the EFFORT.

Love doesn't sit there like a stone, it has to be made, like bread: remade all the time, made new.

Work as though you would live forever, and live as though you would die today. Go another mile!

Always do your best. What you plant now you will harvest later.

Every defeat every heartbreak every loss contains its own seed Its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.

A field of clay touched by the genius of man becomes a castle.
