"What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity."

"The individual who says it is not possible should move out of the way of those doing it."

"Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat."

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."

"Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent."

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes."

"Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate, and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed."

"Talent is a wonderful thing, but it won't carry a quitter."

"It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it."

"I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate."

Life sometimes demands struggle, but when those times come, it's easy to become overwhelmed. When business is strenuous, partnerships are demanding, new ideas are laborious, and relationships are perplexing, we all face the temptation to give up.
