Quotes of the Day

These are more for myself, but if anyone wants to take to heart any of the below quotes, please do. I think they are all very poignant and true. 'Nuff said from me today.

"Belief is truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart."
Joseph Newton

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

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
Nelson Mandela


"I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom."
George S. Patton

"To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else."
Burnadette Devlin

"He that can't endure the bad, will not live to see the good."
Jewish Proverb

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

Bottom line - ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
