The highest reward for man’s toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.

A winner never taught me how to quit.

Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern, and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours.

We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do things, we can accomplish those goals.

The way you habitually think will determine your destiny.

What we do now echoes in eternity.

A friend is as it were a second self.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

None are more taken in by flattery than the proud, who wish to be the first and are not.

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.

It doesn't matter how smart you are unless you stop and think.

The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.

Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes.

It is none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and they will come forth later in uglier ways.
