Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.

Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows
nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will
make the goal.

See things that you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need. Then let them come. Don't fret and worry about them. Don't think about your lack of them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession.
