Courage and Strength

When the water starts boiling,it is foolish to turn off the heat.

They can because they think they can.

If you don’t have confidence, you’ll always find a way not to win.

The best motivating is self-motivating. The guy says, ‘I wish someone would come by and turn me on.’ What if they don’t show up? You’ve got to have a better plan for your life.

Look at frustration as a positive thing. It is the frustration that drives you to improve.

Men have been taught that it is a virtue to agree with others. But the creator is the man who disagrees. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to swim with the current. But the creator is the man who goes against the current. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to stand together. But the creator is the man who stands alone.

Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must first be overcome.

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Loyalty is still the same, Whether it win or lose the game; True as a dial to the sun, Although it be not shined upon.

It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.

He that will not sail till all dangers are over must never put to sea.

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your BELIEF will help create the fact.

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.

Confidence....thrives only on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them, it cannot live.

If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

In life as in a football game, the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

It is only through work and strife that either nation or individual moves on to greatness. The great man is always the man of mighty effort, and usually the man whom grinding need has trained to mighty effort.

We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls.

Character and personal force are the only investments that are worth anything.

Diligence is the mother of good luck.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
