Understand this law and you will then know, beyond room for the slightest doubt, that you are constantly punishing yourself for every wrong you commit and rewarding yourself for every act of constructive conduct in which you indulge.

Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.

You can start right where you stand and apply the habit of going the extra mile by rendering more service and better service than you are now being paid for.

You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself.

The way to develop decisiveness is to start right where you are, with the very next question you face.

The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.

The best way to sell yourself to others is first to sell the others to yourself.

Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.

There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.

One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one's life.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you ready or not, to put this plan into action.

The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.

Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.

Procrastination is the bad habit of putting of until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.

Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent.

Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.

Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.
