The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. The business of America is business. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Believe you can and you're halfway there. The best way to keep your word is not to give it. Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said. The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it. Nothing in this world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty. We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once. I have never been hurt by what I have not said. It is a great thing to be a great man. The man who builds a factory builds a temple. A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything. If you don't see the book you want on the shelf, write it. What we think, we become. If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine of them will run into the ditch before they reach you. It is a great man who can see the great man in the little man. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. The best revenge is massive success. The future depends on what you do today. The most important thing is to be able to say no. What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do. Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going. The best way to predict your future is to create it. The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible. In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. The only thing standing between you and your goal is the story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it. The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. There is no limit to what we can achieve if we don't care who gets the credit. Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking. The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself. To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race. Opportunities don't happen, you create them. Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great. Success is not in what you have, but who you are. Success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world. The world is not going to be saved by legislation. It is a great thing to be able to say that you have done your best. Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. We do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power. The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little. Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do. The chief business of the American people is business. What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. There is no limit to what we can accomplish if we don't care who gets the credit. " The business of America is business." " Nothing in this world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty..." If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you. You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. It is a great man who can see the great things. A good leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. We do not need more intellectual power, we need more character power. There is no limit to what we can accomplish if we do not care who gets the credit. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom. If you don't see a man for what he is, you will never see him for what he can be. " I have never been hurt by what I have not said." The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary. In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve. " If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you." You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore. If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else. Success is not the absence of failure; it's the persistence through failure. " It is a great thing to be a great man, but it is a greater thing to be a good man." |
