It’s time to start living the life you’ve imagined.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.

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

A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

You cannot have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever a man’s actions are, such must be his spirit.

You don’t have to depend on any material possessions, they depend on you, you create them, you own the one and only tool of production.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease to exist at death.

You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that.

Unsuccessful people make decisions based on current situations. Successful people make decisions based on where they want to be.

The change in motion is proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.

Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live.

Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72.

Either you run the day, or the day runs you.

What you are is what you have been. What you will be is what you do now.

If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you must look forward, do so prayerfully. However, the wisest thing you can do is be present in the present...gratefully.

One who is serious all day will never have a good time, while one who is frivolous all day will never establish a household.

Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.

Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.
