Nothing happens until I make it happen.
That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.
People seldom see the halting and painful steps by which the most insignificant success is achieved.
The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.
Ones best success comes after their greatest disappointments.
There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.
Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can.
It takes 20 years to make an overnight success.
Success is getting what you want, and happiness is wanting what you get.

Ability is the art of getting credit for all the home runs somebody else hits.
Natural abilities are like natural plants; they need pruning by study.
It is a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover ability in others is the true test.
The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what a man or woman is able to do that counts.
We all have ability. The difference is how we use it.
Ability is a poor man's wealth.
If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.
If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.
We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.
There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be.
What you believe, you can achieve.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do.
Never be satisfied with what you achieve, because it all pales in comparison with what you are capable of doing in the future.
All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Commitment leads to action. Action brings your dream closer.
Good intentions are not good enough... ultimately we are measured by our actions.
Conditions are never just right. People who delay action until all factors are favourable do nothing.
Success seems to be connected to action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, bu they don't quit.
Your life will be no better than the plans you make and the action you take. You are the architect and builder of your own life, fortune, destiny.
The stories of past courage... can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.
Courage is resistance to fear; mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face ... we must do that which we think we cannot.
