Emotions and Feelings

No road is too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; and no honors are too distant for the man who prepares himself for them with patience.

The miracle, or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under the prompting of a brave, determined spirit.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

Resolve says, ‘I will.’ The man says, ‘I will climb this mountain. They told me it is too high, too far, too steep, too rocky and too difficult. But it’s my mountain. I will climb it. You will soon see me waving from the top or dead on the side from trying.

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.

If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.

What we hope ever to do with ease we may learn first to do with diligence.

What would life be like if we had no courage to attempt anything?

We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.

Difficulty attracts the man of character because it is in embracing it that he realizes himself.

Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

All pain is either severe or slight, if slight, it is easily endured; if severe, it will without doubt be brief.

If people only knew how hard I work to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.

All living souls welcome whatever they are ready to cope with; all else they ignore, or pronounce to be monstrous and wrong, or deny to be possible.

He, who moves not forward, goes backward.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark thing seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities, always see them for they are always there.
