There are two kinds of people, those who finish what they start—and so on . . .

On New Year's Day I wanted to make a resolution to be more positive, but I didn't think it would work out.

To go through life without accomplishing one thing worthwhile, is to take away every reason for going through life.

Fear not that your life will someday have an ending. Fear rather that it will never have a beginning.

"It's not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

It isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you a bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
(Margaret E. Sangster)

Take control of your time and you'll take control of your life.

If you don't know what you want to achieve in life, you won't achieve much.

Tomorrow is the world's greatest labor-saving device.

Many times the difference between failure and success is doing something nearly right—or doing it exactly right.

Greatness comes in many forms, and the great person travels beyond the normal range of human behavior to forge a new thought, act, concept or creation that ultimately serves humanity.

"Our duty to God is to make of ourselves the most perfect product of divine incarnation that we can become. This is possible only through the pursuit of worthy ideals. (Edgar White Burrill)

"Sometimes it is more important to discover what one cannot do, than what one can do." (Lin Yutang)

"Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish." (Buonarroti Michelangelo)

"If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves." (Thomas Edison)

Don't wait till the iron is hot to strike—but make it hot by striking. Few of us are smart enough to remember all we know. Never use a weakness to excuse lack of achievement. All his life, Lord Nelson, England's famous naval hero who destroyed Napoleon's fleet, suffered from seasickness. Most of us can do more than we think we can, but usually do less than we think we have.

"Those who bestow too much application on trifling things become generally incapable of great ones." (La Rochefoucauld)

"Make a rule—and pray God to help you to keep it—never, if possible, to lie down at night without being able to say, 'I have made one human being, at least, a little wiser, a little happier, or a little better this day.'" (Charles Kingsley)
