A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.

If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.

The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do.

Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

Moral virtue is the child of habit.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting and achieving goals.

Sow a thought, and you reap an act; Sow an act, and you reap a habit; Sow a habit, and you reap character; Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.

When the intensity of emotional conviction subsides, a man who is in the habit of reasoning will search for logical grounds in favor of the belief which he finds in himself.

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.

No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children.

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.

There is only one time that is important—now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power.
