“A will finds a way.”

“Let us open up our natures, throw wide the doors of our hearts and let in the sunshine of good will and kindness.”

“Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.”

“Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards, but they will bluff you if they can.  If they see you are afraid of them...they are liable to spring upon you; But if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.”

“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.”

“The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other.”

“There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.”
