Correction does much, but encouragement does more.
We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.
Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.
Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.
At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.
Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.
There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.
