Courage and Strength

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.

If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

If you have to swallow a frog, don't stare at it too long.

Reality can be beaten with enough imagination.

The difference between those that succeed and those that fail is, those that succeeded tried.

Courage is not the lack of fear. It is acting in spite of it .

Begin with the determination to succeed and the work is half done already.

The secret of making progress is to get started.

Do something everyday that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.

Some people give their problems swimming lessons instead of drowning them .

There is no security in life, only opportunity.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

They did not know it was impossible so they did it

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.

Success is a journey, not a destination. It requires constant effort, vigilance and reevaluation.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and starting on the first one.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it.

Develop flexibility and you will be firm; cultivate yielding and you will be strong.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

If a branch is too rigid, it will break. Resist, and you will perish. Know how to yield, and you will survive.

Love shows itself more in adversity than in prosperity; as light does, which shines most where the place is darkest.
