Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worth while achievement.
It is difficult to know what counts in the world. Most of us count credits, honor, dollars. But at the bulging center of mid-life, I am beginning to see that the things that really matter take place not in the boardrooms, but in the kitchens of the world.
If you treat an individual ... as if he were what he ought to be, and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.
On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
If you don't like something change it.
If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Don't complain.
The future belongs to the risk takers, not the security seekers. The more you seek security, the less of it you will have and the more you pursue opportunity, the more security you will achieve.
Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really know what perect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.
Love is like the perfect Rubix Cube. There are countless number of wrong twists and turns, but when you get it right, it looks perfect no matter what way you look at it.
Fear less, hope more. Eat less, chew more. Whine less, breathe more. Talk less, say more. Love more and all good things will be yours.
It is time for us to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever, and the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it.
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spirtual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one lese will be able to make that happen. Accept who your are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

Remember, success is not measured by heights attained but by obstacles overcome. We're going to pass through many obstacles in our lives: good days, bad days. But the successful person will overcome those obstacles and constantly move forward.
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence.
Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear.
Perhaps the action you take will be successful;
Perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow.
But any action is better than no action at all.
You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.
There is no such thing as can't, only won't. If you're qualified, all it takes is a burning desire to accomplish, to make a change. Go forward, go backward. Whatever it takes! But you can't blame other people or society in general. It all comes from your mind. When we do the impossible we realize we are special people.
Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their top priority.

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
Success doesn't come to you. You go to it.
You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
The future is not some place we are going to but one we are creating. The paths to it are not found but made.
If you're still hanging onto a dead dream of yesterday, laying flowers on its grave by the hour, you cannot be planting the seeds for a new dream to grow today.
One's objective should be to get it right, get it quick, get it out, and get it over. You see, your problem won't improve with age.
When you get right down to the root of the meaning of the word "succeed," you find that it simply means to follow through. F. W. Nichol
