The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.

If I want to achieve the goals I've set, I've got to be in tip-top shape.

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

Success comes to those who become success conscious.

Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and never the result of selfishness.

There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge, both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought.

Most great people have achieved their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.

Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

When your desires are strong enough, you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.

A goal is a dream with a deadline.

Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat.

It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.

Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Everyone faces defeat. It may be a stepping-stone or a stumbling block, depending on the mental attitude with which it is faced.

It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others succeed.

If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.

Set your mind on a definite goal and observe how quickly the world stands aside to let you pass.
