Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win—essential to success. It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.

There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.

The battle is all over except the “shouting” when one knows what is wanted and has made up his mind to get it, whatever the price may be.

You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the wonlost record of the referee.

Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind’s eye, and you will be drawn toward it. If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self. The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.

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

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.

Who said it could not be done? And tell me what great victories does he have to his credit which qualifies him to judge what can and can’t be accomplished.

The strongest oak of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It’s the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun. Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

The jack-of-all-trades seldom is good at any. Concentrate all of your efforts on one definite chief aim.

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

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

Do not wait; the time will never be ‘‘just right.’’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

But it can also help you do those things that you want to do. It helps you seize those precious moments that, if lost, may never be retrieved.

Action is the real measure of intelligence.

The best job goes to the person who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with excuses.

“Who told you it couldn’t be done? And what great achievement has he to his credit that entitles him to use the word ‘impossible’ so freely?”

“What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”

“One sound idea is all that you need to achieve success.”

“Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind’s eye, and you will be drawn toward it. If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self. The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.”

“No man is ever whipped until he quits - in his own mind.”

“It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.”

“You can do it if you believe you can.”

“Enthusiasm is the steam that drives the engine.”

“Fortunate is the person who has developed the self-control to steer a straight course towards his objective in life, without being swayed from his purpose by either commendation or condemnation.”

“What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”
