MARCUS GARVEY

Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are.

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.

Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.

That’s the secret to life… replace one worry with another.

Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks.

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

You must have confidence in your competence.

Don’t worry about your heart, it will last you as long as you live.

I believe everyone should have a broad picture of how the universe operates and our place in it. It is a basic human desire. And it also puts our worries in perspective.

Worry – a God, invisible but omnipotent. It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse; it takes away the appetite, and turns the hair gray.

There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem.

I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.

Whatever is going to happen will happen, whether we worry or not.

Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.

Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.
