When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans and set sail once more toward your coveted goal. If you give up before your goal has been reached, you are a "quitter". A quitter never wins - and - a winner never quits.

Ideas are begining point of all fortunes.

It has been said that man can create anything which he can imagine.

We rise to high positions or remain at the bottom because of conditions we can control if we desire to control them.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before,
You can ever win a prize.

"Life's battle don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can!

If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain, you won't.

If you think you will lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will -
It's all in the state of mind.

There are millions of people who believe themselves "doomed" to poverty and failure, because of some strange force over which they believe they have no control. They are the creators of their own "misfortune," because of this negative belief, which is picked up by the subconscious mind, and translated into its physical equivalent.

Faith: faith is a state of mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmation or repeated instructions to the subconscious mind, through the principle of auto-suggestion.

"Every adversity brings with it the seed of an equivalent advsntage."

"Our limitations are those we setup in our own mind."

“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
“For Life is just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

“I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.”

When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. This is exactly what most of the men do.

When a man really desires a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win.
