Perseverance defeats failure.

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible:the fear of failure.

What though strength fails? Boldness is certain to win praise. In mighty enterprises, it is enough to have had the determination.

Without the assistance of that Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well.

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.

You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.

To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant. What we must do therefore is to strive and persevere and never give up.

Continuous effort — not strength or intelligence — is the key to unlocking our potential.
