The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.
The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated.
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.
To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions.
We forget that every good that is worth possessing must be paid for in strokes of daily effort. We postpone and postpone, until those smiling possibilities are dead.
Be willing to have it so. Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it.
The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me', and when you have found that attitude, follow it.
A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
