1 No power on earth can impede your progress as surely and implacably as you can.
2 If we don't know what it is or what we want, our untapped potntial stands idle.
3 Our purpose is to realize our potential.
4 If we don't expect anything, we will consequently not gain anything.
5 The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
6 if you are always waiing for opportunity, making excuse after excuse , you will reach the last exuse of all .- 'I'm too old now'
7 Controlling your thoughts means you are the decider of your fate, in othe words you choose what your world will be like.
8 We forfeit three fourths of our lives to be like other people.
9 There is only one success, to be able to spend your life in your own way. Christopher Morley
10 Beware our thoughts lest they betray us.
11 Sowing seeds of success with an understanding of the universal laws and proven techniques for activating your inner powerstore, and cultivating them with new programmed habits of action will almost certainly reap a bountiful harvest.
11 Knowledge is not a dangerous thing. Ignorance is not bliss. Dare to explore the powers of your mind.
12 Anyone can be a success if enough doors are opened, all that is required are the keys and they already lie deep whithin you.
13 Believe in the limitness potential within you as your first step to greatness.
14 Basis of self-respect is self-control and this starts with understanding yourself.
15 Action have always spoken louder than words.
16 By their fruits you will know them.
17 What you are shouts so loudly at me that I cannot hear you.18 Before you can do something, you must become something.
19 Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.
20 Courage is not the absence of fear , it is the control of fear.
21 If you trap the moment before it is ripe the tears of repentance will certainly wip but if once you let the ripe moment go you can never wipe off the tears of woe.
22 Whatever you can do, or dream you can it. boldness has power, magic and genius in it.
23 Your attitude will shape your future.
24 Your attitude is more important than intelligence or facts.
25 Your past does't equal your future unless you choose to allow it to by keeping it alive.
26 For every adversity ther is the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit.
27 For behaviour , men learn it as they take diseases, one of another.
28 life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be undestood.
29 As soon as the first wants are satisfied , the higher wants become imperative.
30 Spend more time on your life list than you do on your shooping list.
31 If one's motives are wrong nothing can be right.
32 Goals can be short, medium or long range . They can be tangible and intangible. They will cover all the areas of your life.
33 All great achievementa are the result of a series of many small achievments.
34 I feel happy ! I fell healthy ! I feel terrific!
35 Fear is pain arising from anticipation.
36 A life of wisdom must be a life of contemplation combined with action.
37 When you seek to understand someone , look at the world throgh their lens not your.
38 Work on your inner world in order to strengthen your outer world.39 Invest 1 per cent of each day's time in you and the
99 per cent will benifit.
40 The only happpiness comes from squanering from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
41 Practice, practice, practice. A little every day makes everything count towards the habit success.
42 As soon as you understand the fact you can rise, you will rise.
43 Distraction can't get onto your path, they can only persuade you onto theirs.
44 Felt his head attached by a giddy stupor like drunkenes.
45 To compose I go to the piano. I shut my eyes and I copy what I hear myself dictate from outside.
46 All that are is the result of what we have thought.
47 Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attemp.
48 If we don't conquer our bad habits they inevitabely and eventually conquer us.
