Success is not final and failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.
