You will never succeed while smarting under the drudgery of your occupation, if you are constantly haunted with the idea that you could succeed better in something else.
From Orison Swett Marden
Be larger than your task.
Our thoughts and imagination are the only real limits to our possibilities.
A good system shortens the road to the goal.
Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.
You have not found your place until all your faculties are roused, and your whole nature consents and approves of the work you are doing.
We advance on our journey only when we face our goal, when we are confident and believe we are going to win out.
Unless you have prepared yourself to profit by your chance, the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you just in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.
Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that is in him.
The waste of life occasioned by trying to do too many things at once is appalling.
