“You can have anything you want, if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.” -William Adams

Life is a gift to be used every day,
Not to be smothered and hidden away;
It isn’t a thing to be stored in the chest
Where you gather your keepsakes and treasure your best;
It isn’t a joy to be sipped now and then,
And promptly put back in a dark place again.
Life is a gift that the humblest may boast of,
And one that the humblest may well make the most of;
Get out and live it each hour of the day,
Wear it and use it as much as you may;
Don’t keep it in niches and corners and grooves–
You’ll find that in service its beauty improves.
-Edgar A. Guest

“One big reason why men do not develop greater abilities, greater sales strength, greater resourcefulness is because they use neither their abilities nor their opportunities. We don’t need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity. What we need is to use what we have. Men fail and their families suffer deprivations when all the time these men have in their possession the same assets other men are utilizing to accumulate a fortune…. Life doesn’t cheat. It doesn’t pay in counterfeit coin. It doesn’t lock up shop and go home when payday comes. It pay every man exactly what he has earned. The age-old law that a man gets what he earns hasn’t been suspended! When we take that truth home and believe it, we’ve turned a big corner on the high road that runs straight through to success.” -Basil S. Walsh

When you have a distinct purpose in view, your work becomes of absorbing interest. You bend your best powers to it; your give it concentrated attention; you think of little else than the realization of this purpose; you will is stimulated into unusual activity, and as a consequence you do your work with an increasing sense of power.” -Grenville Kleiser

“I’ve never met a person, I don’t care what his condition, in whom I could not see possibilities. I don’t care how much a man may consider himself a failure, I believe in him, for he can change the thing that is wrong in his life anytime he is prepared and ready to do it. Whenever he develops the desire, he can take away from his life the thing that is defeating it. The capacity for reformation and change lies within.” -Preston Bradley

“I Resolve for 1920:
To sit down, all by myself and take a personal stock-taking once a month
To be no more charitable in viewing my own faults than I am in viewing the faults of others.
To face the facts candidly and courageously.
To address myself carefully, prayerfully, to remedying defects.” -B.C. Forbes
