Quotes- Don't be afraid your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin.
- Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
- Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
- If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the past's effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the cause of the future.
- Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.
- Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.
- When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, never give up then, for that is just the time that the tide will turn.
- Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.

- The measure of success is not whether you have tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year.
- Any fool can try to defend his mistakes - and most fools do - but it gives one a feeling of nobility to admit one's mistakes. By fighting, you never get enough, but by yielding, you get more than you expected.
- Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
- Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it--immediately.
- A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.
