• "No," he says, taking us both in. "No, no, no. You've come farther than most people on this planet will in their lifetimes.

How do you think you could have possibly come this far if you didn't have hope?"

• The best way to sell yourself to others is first to sell the others to yourself. Check yourself against this list of obstacles to a pleasing personality: interrupting others; sarcasm; vanity; being a poor listener; insincere flattery; finding fault; challenging others without good cause; giving unsolicited advice; complaining; attitude of superiority; envy of others' success; poor posture and dress.

  Harold Geneen

• There is a greater Christian faith than one which settles for the temporal happiness, and that is the augmentation of faith. The more faithful you become, the harder the obstacles get; but the harder the obstacles get, the tougher your spine grows; and the tougher your spine grows, the less dependent you are on man's approval. I came to know this about Christianity when valuing faith before comfort.

• 

  I refuse to believe today will be just another day in my life.
  All that I am.
  All that I will become will be written through my thoughts and my actions.
  I've conditioned my mind.
  Trained my body.
  Sacrificed my soul.
  There will be obstacles.
  Doubters.
  Mistakes.
  But nothing comes to those who wait.
  Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up.

• If it be admitted that a man, possessing absolute power, may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should a majority not be liable to the same reproach? Men are not apt to change their character by agglomeration; nor does their patience in the presence of obstacles increase with the consciousness of their strength. And for these reasons I can never willingly invest any number of my fellow creatures with that unlimited authority which I should refuse to any one of them.
