Put your greatest possession on the tallest shelf, so if you fall you have something to reach for.

One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.

Plans will get you into things, but you have got to work your way out.

Sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud; and after summer evermore succeeds barren winter, with his wrathful nipping cold: so cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet.

There's no such thing as chance; and what to us seems merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.

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.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

May your troubles be less and your blessings be more.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

A man, to carry on a successful business, must have imagination. He must see things as in a vision, a dream of the whole thing. A man can cultivate this faculty only by an appreciation for the finer things in life.

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

Looking at the stars always makes me dream.

I dream, I test my dreams against my beliefs, I dare to take risks, and I execute my vision to make those dreams come true.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream!

If you can imagine it you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.

Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal—a commitment to excellence—that will enable you to attain the success you seek.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full resources that are within thy reach.

Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.

There are two ways to get enough: One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.

No duty is more urgent than giving thanks.

Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There’s no one in the world like you. You are amazing.
