Most barriers to your success are man-made.
And most often, you're the man that made them.

Ambition, confidence,enthusiasm, and success
are produced by courage, faith, pride, and hard work.

Character is the real foundation
of all worthwhile success.

Skill and confidence
are an unconquered army.

The first step to handling anything
is the ability to face it.

It is courage that the world needs,
not infallibility...
Courage is always the surest wisdom.

Some men see things as they are
and I ask, "Why?"
I dream things that never were
and ask "Why not?"

Friendship is the only cement
that will ever hold the world together.

It is a good thing to be rich,
it is a good thing to be strong,
but it is a far better thing
to be beloved by many friends.

I certainly didn't come up with these quotes, but I have certainly tried to live my life per their advice.
