“Our errors, mistakes, failures, and sometimes even our humiliations, were necessary steps in the learning process. However, they were meant to be means to an end - and not an end in themselves. When they have served their purpose, they should be forgotten.

“To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.”

“The 'self-image' is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior.”

“Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today.”

“For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.”

“We are built to conquer environment, solve problems, achieve goals, and we find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.”

“Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.”

“You make mistakes. Mistakes don't make you.”

“Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act.”

“Our self-image strongly held essentially determines what we become.”

“Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment.”
