Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Well done is better than well said.

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

You just can't beat the person who never gives up.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.

Either I will find a way, or I will make one.

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare.

Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.

Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

A somebody was once a nobody who wanted to and did.

When one must, one can.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

You will never win if you never begin.

Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.

I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

Hitch your wagon to a star.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.

When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.

You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.

A goal is a dream with a deadline.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Wherever you are - be all there.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Every exit is an entry somewhere else.

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.

Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.

Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.

Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Never complain and never explain.

I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.

Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

I am not afraid... I was born to do this.

Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.

Don't think, just do.

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

One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.

Press forward. Do not stop, do not linger in your journey, but strive for the mark set before you.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.

Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.

Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.

Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.

The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
