Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure.
Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.
Instead of thinking about where you are, think about where you want to be. It takes twenty years of hard work to become an overnight success.
Apparent failure may hold in its rough shell the germs of a success that will blossom in time, and bear fruit throughout eternity.
All honor to him who shall win the prize, The world has cried for a thousand years; But to him who tries and fails and dies, I give great honor and glory and tears.
Let us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift, the power to work is a blessing, the love of work is success!
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.
