"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of
intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the
appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false
friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the
world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a
redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. "
"Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity."
"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
"Success doesn't come to you... you go to it. "
