Courage and Strength

He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life.

It's always fun to do the impossible.

It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

I studied the lives of great men and famous women, and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work.

Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Never despair; but if you do, work on in despair.

I like a man who grins when he fights.

Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her. But once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

If we did all the things that we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

Decide on what you think is right, and stick to it.
