A series of failures may culminate in the best possible result.

Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you. . . If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you, and even if it is troublesome for a time, it will gradually fade out, if you sincerely bless it.

Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path.

Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.

Surely what a man does when he is in an uncomfortable situation is the best evidence for the sort of man he is.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

So it is more useful to watch a man in time of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask it torn off, reality remains.

Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.

The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.

The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default; by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.

To establish true self-esteem, we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

I’m not perfect. And who knows how many times I’ve fallen short. We all fall short. That’s the amazing thing about the grace of God.

Now what should happen when you make a mistake is this: You take your knocks, you learn your lessons and then you move on. That’s the healthiest way to deal with a problem.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.

Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.

The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.

A setback only paves the way for a comeback.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.

If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it's the same problem you had last year.
