“As a general marches as the head of his troops so wise political
leaders march at the head of affairs.
They don’t wait for events, but know what actions to take. The actions they take will produce the
events.”
"Watch
your thoughts, for they become words.
Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become
habits. Study your habits, for they
will become your character. Develop
your character, for it becomes your destiny."
"This is the
beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can
waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are
exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone
forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be
something good."
"You build on
failure. You use it as a stepping stone.
Close the door on the past. You
don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or
any of your time, or any of your space."
