A man needs selfacceptance or he can't live with himself; he needs selfcriticism or others can't live with him.

It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.

Let everything you do be done as if it makes a difference.

Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound

People do not attract that which they want, but that which they are. (To put it another way: When you stop working on what it is you're trying to get and start working on YOU, only then will you get what it is you want.)

Trials, temptations, disappointments all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fiber of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
