he tears of faithfulness to
your beliefs cleanse your spirit to envision the road ahead. Everything is
possible for the person who believes.
Adlin Sinclair Quote on Success
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is
the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what
you shall at last unveil.
James Allen - Motivational
Quotes
Whatever you are, be a good
one.
Abraham Lincoln - Motivational
Quotes
There can be no hope when there lacks interest for better. There can be no
trust when there lacks confirmation of truth. There can be no faith when
there lacks complete confidence of purpose.
Adlin Sinclair Quote on Success
Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams.Think not about your
frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not
with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for
you to do.
Pope John XXIII
The way you give your name to others is a measure of how much you like and
respect yourself.

Don't let the fear of the time
it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The
time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the
best possible use.
Earl Nightingale -
Motivational Quotes
To move ahead you need to believe in yourself...have conviction in your
beliefs and the confidence to execute those beliefs.
Adlin Sinclair Quote on Success
Without faith, hope and trust, there is no promise for the future, and
without a promising future, life has no direction, no meaning and no
justification.
Adlin Sinclair Quote on Success
Earn as much money as you possibly can and as quickly as you can. The sooner
you get money out of the way, the sooner you will be able to get to the rest
of your problems in style.
Jim Rohn - Motivational Quotes
Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day;
while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is
the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us
to either fortune or failure.
Jim Rohn - Motivational Quotes
A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night,
and in between he does what he wants to do.
Bob Dylan Quote on Success
Look at a day when you are
supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing
nothing, it's when you've had everything to do and you've done it!"
Margaret Thatcher -
Motivational Quotes
The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, I wish someone would
come by and turn me on. What if they don't show up? You've got to have a
better plan for your life than that.
Jim Rohn - Motivational Quotes
Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.
Bobby Unser Quote on Success
Next time you go out for dinner, have a look around the table and if
everyone is on your payroll, the chances are you have become a prick.
Bono Quote on Success
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people
always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become
great.
Mark Twain - Motivational
Quotes
Action may not always bring
happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Benjamin Disraeli -
Motivational Quotes
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away
from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
Discover.
Mark Twain - Motivational
Quotes
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached
in life... as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to
succeed.
Booker T. Washington Quote on Success

The Road Not Taken by
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
The Victor by C.W.
Longenecker
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will
It’s all in the state of mind.
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 the prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
Success is counted sweetest by Emily Dickinson
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of Victory
As he defeated -- dying --
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!
The successful man has thrust himself by Stephen Crane
The successful man has thrust himself
Through the water of the years,
Reeking wet with mistakes --
Bloody mistakes;
Slimed with victories over the lesser,
A figure thankful on the shore of money.
Then, with the bones of fools
He buys silken banners
Limned with his triumphant face;
With the skins of wise men
He buys the trivial bows of all.
Flesh painted with marrow
Contributes a coverlet,
A coverlet for his contented slumber.
In guiltless ignorance, in ignorant guilt,
He delivered his secrets to the riven multitude.
"Thus I defended: Thus I wrought."
Complacent, smiling,
He stands heavily on the dead.
Erect on a pillar of skulls
He declaims his trampling of babes;
Smirking, fat, dripping,
He makes speech in guiltless ignorance,
Innocence.
Essentials by St. Clair Adams
Roll up your sleeves, lad, and begin;
Disarm misfortune with a grin;
Let discontent not wag your chin-
Let gratitude.
Don't try to find things all askew;
Don't be afraid of what is new;
Nor banish as unsound, untrue,
A platitude.
If folks don't act as you would choose
Remember life is varied; use
Your common sense; don't get the blues;
Show latitude.
Sing though in quavering sharps and flats,
Love though the folk you love are cats,
Work though you're worn and weary-
that's the attitude.
We Are Made One with What
We Touch and See by Oscar Wilde
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
With beat of systole and of diastole
One grand great life throbs through earth's giant heart,
And mighty waves of single Being roll
From nerveless germ to man, for we are part
Of every rock and bird and beast and hill,
One with the things that prey on us, and one with what we kill
One sacrament are consecrate, the earth
Not we alone hath passions hymeneal,
The yellow buttercups that shake for mirth
At daybreak know a pleasure not less real
Than we do, when in some fresh blossoming wood
We draw the spring into our hearts, and feel that life is good
Is the light vanished from our golden sun,
Or is this daedal fashioned earth less fair,
That we are nature's heritors, and one
With every pulse of life that beats the air?
Rather new suns across the sky shall pass,
New splendour come unto the flower, new glory to the grass.
And we two lovers shall not sit afar,
Critics of nature, but the joyous sea
Shall be our raiment, and the bearded star
Shoot arrows at our pleasure! We shall be
Part of the mighty universal whole,
And through all Aeons mix and mingle with the Kosmic Soul!.
We shall be notes in that great Symphony
Whose cadence circles through the rhythmic spheres,
And all the live World's throbbing heart shall be
One with our heart, the stealthy creeping years
Have lost their terrors now, we shall not die,
The Universe itself shall be our Immortality!.
A Song Of Success by Robert William Service
Ho! we were strong, we were swift, we were brave.
Youth was a challenge, and Life was a fight.
All that was best in us gladly we gave,
Sprang from the rally, and leapt for the height.
Smiling is Love in a foam of Spring flowers:
Harden our hearts to him -- on let us press!
Oh, what a triumph and pride shall be ours!
See where it beacons, the star of success!
Cares seem to crowd on us -- so much to do;
New fields to conquer, and time's on the wing.
Grey hairs are showing, a wrinkle or two;
Somehow our footstep is losing its spring.
Pleasure's forsaken us, Love ceased to smile;
Youth has been funeralled; Age travels fast.
Sometimes we wonder: is it worth while?
There! we have gained to the summit at last.
Aye, we have triumphed! Now must we haste,
Revel in victory . . . why! what is wrong?
Life's choicest vintage is flat to the taste --
Are we too late? Have we laboured too long?
Wealth, power, fame we hold . . . ah! but the truth:
Would we not give this vain glory of ours
For one mad, glad year of glorious youth,
Life in the Springtide, and Love in the flowers.
