“Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.”

“Plant seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses.”

“Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You'll find they haven't half the strength you think they have.”

“The world in which you live is not primarily determined by outward conditions and circumstances but by the thoughts that habitually occupy your mind.”

“You must conceive it in your heart and mind before you can receive it. If you believe then all things are possible.”

“Optimism, when applied to your life, develops strength and peace within you.”

“The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.”
