Sow a thought, and you reap an act;
Sow an act, and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.

The very greatest things - great thoughts, discoveries, inventions - have usually been nurtured in hardship, often pondered over in sorrow, and at length established with difficulty.

Your daily habits determine your destiny.

Our thoughts are causes. You sow a thought, you reap an action. You sow an action, you reap a habit. You sow a habit, you reap a character. You sow a character, you reap a destiny. It all starts with a thought.

The man who masters his thoughts, masters himself; and it is only on that journey that his potential is unlocked and he is able to write his own Destiny.

Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
