Most people who succeed in the face of seemingly impossible conditions are people who simply don't know how to quit.

I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.

What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

When you can't solve the problem, manage it.

It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.

You never suffer from a money problem, you always suffer from an idea problem.

Life is but a moment, death also is but another.

What appears to be the end of the road may simply be a bend in the road.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation.

Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly.

Every person is responsible for all the good within the scope of his abilities, and for no more, and none can tell whose sphere is the largest.

Winning starts with beginning.

Never bring the problem solving stage into the decision making stage. Otherwise, you surrender yourself to the problem rather than the solution.

Again and again, the impossible problem is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

It takes guts to get out of the ruts.

Turn your scars into stars.

God's delays are not God's denials.

The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.

Goals must never be from your ego, but problems that cry for a solution.

Press on. Obstacles are seldom the same size tomorrow as they are today.

Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us. They are essential to really keep us alive.

If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless.

Never underestimate your problem or your ability to deal with it.

You can often measure a person by the size of his dream.

If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Some people are at the top of the ladder, some are in the middle, still more are at the bottom, and a whole lot more don't even know there is a ladder.

Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.

Most people who succeed in the face of seemingly impossible conditions are people who simply don't know how to quit.

Today's accomplishments were yesterday's impossibilities.

It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

You will suddenly realize that the reason you never changed before was because you didn't want to.

Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.

Our greatest lack is not money for any undertaking, but rather ideas, If the ideas are good, cash will somehow flow to where it is needed.

Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.

High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true.

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.

The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking.

The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.

A lack of resources may slow you down, but don't let it make you throw away a big idea. Give God five years, ten years, fifteen years, twenty years, twenty-five years, thirty years, forty years, or more. Give God all the time He needs to bring the resources to you!

Anybody who succeeds is helping people. The secret to success is find a need and fill it; find a hurt and heal it; find a problem and solve it.

How we express ourselves in worship remains up in the air.

I believe that Christians believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works. And we believe that if you're saved, Jesus becomes your savior. He makes a promise to you. You can trust his promises. You can bank on that word.

I built my church on Easter services, Christmas Eve services, and Norman Vincent Peale.

I love my son and am proud of my son.

I realized that every sermon I preached should be designed not to 'teach' or 'convert' people, but rather to encourage them, to give them a lift. I decided to adopt the spirit, style, strategy and substance of a 'therapist' in the pulpit.
