Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.

How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. So always think positively.

---

We are all capable of greater things than we realize.

---

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate.

---

Expecting the best means that you put your whole heart (i.e. the central essence of your personality) into what you want to accomplish. People are defeated in life not because of lack of ability, but for lack of wholeheartedness. They do not wholeheartedly expect to succeed. Their heart isn't in it, which is to say, they themselves are not fully given.

If you want to get somewhere you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. Then never, never, never give up.

---

Believe in yourself, believe in your future.

---

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.

---

Believe that you are bigger than your difficulties, for you are, indeed.

---

Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.
