Mark Twain

"Keep away from small 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."

Eric Allenbaugh

"Yes, there are times when something is legitimately not our fault. Blaming others, however, keeps us in a stuck state and is ultimately rough on our own self-esteem."

Earl Nightingale

"A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed."

H. Jackson Brown

"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins - not through strength but by perseverance."
