The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Be happy, but never satisfied.

It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.

A liar will not be believed even when he speaks the truth.

I work hard, and I do good, and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm not going to let you restrict me.

All thinking men are atheists.

Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.

Plan your work - work your plan. Lack of system produces that 'I'm swamped' feeling.

You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities -- always see them, for they're always there.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

Everything you can imagine is real.

The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?

No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
