Emotions and Feelings

There is real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.

A little twist to the usual, ‘Everything comes to he who waits’. Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.

I was never afraid of failure, for I would sooner fail than not be among the best.

To guarantee success, act as if it were impossible to fail.

He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.

If you have the guts to follow the risk, however, life opens, opens, opens up all along the line.

Envy can be a positive motivator. Let it inspire you to work harder for what you want.

Your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing.

The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.

If you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Most people I ask little from. I try to give them much, and expect nothing in return and I do very well in the bargain.

I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.

We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.

He who reigns within himself and rules his passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.

It’s a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.

I have made it a rule of my life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy...you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.

There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
