The First ingredient of Success - making good decisions - has no real value without the second one, which is practicing good discipline. Let's face it: Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everybody wants to live long, but not many want to exercise. Everybody wants money, yet few want to work hard. Successful people conquer their feelings and form the habit of doing things unsuccessful people do not like to do. The bookends of Success are starting and finishing. Decisions help us start. Discipline helps us finish.

-Dr. John

The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.

-Chinese Proverb

The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.  Hard work is the price we must pay for success.  You can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.

-Vince Lombardi

Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.

-Peter Marshall

 
You will never "find" time for anything.  If you want time,  you must make it. 

-Charles Bruxton

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."

Abraham Lincoln

"The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness.  You have to catch it yourself."

Benjamin Franklin

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."

Herm Albright

"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."

John Wayne

"A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not what a ship is for."

William Shedd

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles 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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; 

who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

 

"Being defeated is only a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent."

Marilyn vos Savant
