If I stop to kick every barking dog I am not going to get where I’m going

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement

You are the one that possesses the keys to your being. You carry the passport to your own happiness

I was smart enough to go through any door that opened

Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputations can never effect a reform

When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful

Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement

Knowing what must be done does away with fear

I didn’t get there by wishing for it or hoping for it, but by working for it
