Health happiness and success

“Health, happiness and success depend upon

the fighting spirit of each person.

The big thing is not what happens to us in

life – but what we do about what happens to us.”

- George Allen  -

Every one of us

“Every one of us, unconsciously,

works out a personal philosophy of life,

by which we are guided, inspired,

and corrected, as time goes on.

It is this philosophy by which we measure out our days,

and by which we advertise to all about us the man,

or woman, that we are. . . . It takes but a brief time

to scent the life philosophy of anyone.

It is defined in the conversation, in the look of the eye,

and in the general mien of the person.

It has no hiding place.

It’s like the perfume of the flower — unseen,

but known almost instantly.

It is the possession of the successful, and the happy.

And it can be greatly embellished by the absorption

of ideas and experiences of the useful of this earth.”

- George Matthew Adams  -

Success often comes

“Success often comes to those who have

the aptitude to see way down the road.”

- Laing Burns  -

The great successful men

“The great successful men of the world

have used their imagination…

they think ahead and create their

mental picture in all its details,

filling in here, adding a little there,

altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily

building – steadily building.”
- Robert Collier -

When a man feels

“When a man feels throbbing within him

the power to do what he undertakes as well

as it can possibly be done, this is happiness,

this is success.”
- Orison Swett Marden -

Would you like me to give

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success?

It’s quite simple, really.

Double your rate of failure.

You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success.

But it isn’t at all.

You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it,

So go ahead and make mistakes.

Make all you can.

Because remember that’s where you will find success.”
– Thomas J. Watson -

The real contest

The real contest is always between what you’ve

done and what you’re capable of doing.

You measure yourself against yourself and nobody else.
- Geoffrey Gaberino -

If you are to be

If you are to be, you must begin by assuming responsibility.

You alone are responsible for every moment of your life,

for every one of your acts.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery -

We never know

We never know how far

reaching something we may think,

say or do today will affect the lives

of millions tomorrow.
- B.J. Palmer -

Any coward can fight

Any coward can fight a battle when he’s sure of winning;

but give me the man who has the pluck to fight when he’s

sure of losing.
- George Eliot -
