Wilferd Peterson Thoughts

Success is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve.

It is looking for the joys that come in small, precious packages and making the most of them, knowing that big packages of joy are few and far between.

You hold in your hand the camel's-hair brush of a painter of Life. You stand before the vast white canvas of Time. The paints are your thoughts, emotions and acts.

Words of encouragement fan the spark of genius into the flame of achievement. Legend tells us that Lincoln's dying mother called her small son to her bedside and whispered, 'Be somebody, Abe'.

There are no secrets of success. Success is doing the things you know you should do. Success is not doing the things you know you should not do.

In practicing the art of parenthood, an ounce of example is worth a ton of preachment.

The art of thinking is the greatest art of all, for 'as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.' The thinker knows he is today where his thoughts have taken him and that he is building his future by the quality of the thoughts he thinks.

Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show. The secret lies in an inner glow. It's lighting a fire inside the heart. Good will and joy a vital part. It's higher thought and a greater plan. It's glorious dream in the soul of man.
