When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

A positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative; he refuses to dwell on it. Positive thinking is a form of thought which habitually looks for the best results from the worst conditions

Believe you can, and you can. Belief is one of the most powerful of all problem dissolvers. When you believe that a difficulty can be overcome, you are more than halfway to victory over it already.

If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast." ~

You have a choice everyday... You can choose every morning whether you will be depressed and miserable, or whether you will be happy.

You have dirty hands and dark wild eyes, but by far you are the purest heart I have ever known.

Your success is hidden underneath your fears and weaknesses

It takes a strong character for a person to say, 'I can't do it.

I had to overcome the name Rock. If I'd been as hip then as I am now, I would have never consented to be named Rock.

In a game, just losing is almost as satisfying as just winning... In life the loser's score is always zero.

Instinct leads, logic does but follow.

By empowering a woman, we empower a child. By educating a girl child, we make it possible for her to grow up to become an empowered woman.
