Many of life's failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
-- Thomas Edison

You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind. Dale Carnegie

Triumph often is nearest when defeat seems inescapable.-- B.C. Forbes

It's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them - that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow. Anthony Robbins

The human mind is the last great, unexplored continent on earth.-- Earl Nightingale

It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going. Brian Tracy

We become what we think about.-- Earl Nightingale

Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fiber of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before. James Buckham

Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them. John Updike

Some men see things as they are and say why.I dream of things that never were and say why not.-- John F. Kennedy

There is a power under your control that is greater than poverty, greater than the lack of education, greater than all your fears and superstitions combined. It is the power to take posession of your own mind and direct it to whatever ends you may desire. Andrew Carnegie

The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings." - Eric Hoffer

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each one of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. Robert F. Kennedy

To open your heart means risking it all - to experience great joy and profound sorrow.-- Tom Mathews

If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins. Benjamin Franklin

Life can be seen through your eyes, but it is not fully appreciated until it is seen through your heart.-- Mary Xavier

The abundant life does not come to those who have had a lot of obstacles removed from their path by others.  It develops from within and is rooted in strong mental and moral fiber. William Mather Lewis

The purpose of life is a life of purpose.-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Undertake a struggle that consists of rising ledge to ledge in a steady ascent to the top, a struggle where the hardships are investments in your future, and the victories bring you irreversibly closer to the world of your moral ideal, and should you die without reaching full sunlight, you will die on a peak touched by its rays."
- Ayn Rand

The human spirit is nurtured by praise, as much as a seedlingis nurtured by the soil, the water and the sun.
-- Mario Fernandez

The ladder of success is never crowded at the top. Napoleon Hill

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.-- Margaret Thatcher
