The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.

Turn your stumbling blocks into stepping stones.

Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.

Resolve is what makes a man manifest. Not puny resolve; not crude determinations; not errant purposes — but that strong and indefatigable will which treads down difficulties and danger, as a boy treads down the heaving frost-lands of winter, which kindles his eye and brain with proud pulse beat toward the unattainable. WILL MAKES MEN GIANTS!

Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining the state of mind known as a BURNING DESIRE TO WIN, essential to success.

I don't really care about capitalizing on momentum.

Through thick and thin, drought and flood, good times and bad, even though there's opposition, even though things may not be working out the way we had hoped or planned, we have one goal in this one short life we live on planet earth: Do not lose focus. Serve the purposes of God.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles he has overcome trying to succeed.

There is always a temptation to diddle around in the contemplative life, making itsy-bitsy statues.

I want to continue to climb up the mountain of life and try to get everything that God has for me.

Success, worldly or spiritual, is the willing servant of strong, steady, silent, unflinching purpose. The most powerful disintegrating forces make no noise. The greatly-overcoming mind works silently.

I must walk right up to my last moment.
