    Optimism is the foundation of courage.

    Nicholas Murray Butler
     

    You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

    We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road—the one "less traveled by"—offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.

    Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem. Expect abundance on every level.

    Eileen Caddy
     

    For the prosperous, it’s not about getting more stuff. It’s about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want.

    T. Harv Eker
     

    You enhance your chances for success when you understand that your yearning power is more important than your earning power.

    Zig Ziglar
     

    Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
