Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

"Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised."

"A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside."

"Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon."

"Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning."

"The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply."

"Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success."

"Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing."

"That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes."
