You can't jump down the stairs in one leap, however much you might wish to, and you even more surely can't jump up it, but one step and then the next and there you are, at the top or the bottom and not a bit out of breath or discomposed.
Elizabeth Aston, The Exploits & Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy, 2005
" I studied the lives of great men and famous women, and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm."

" Giving never moves in a straight line-it always travels in circles."
Robert Schuller
" I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace."
Dalai Lama
" Your footsteps may not always be loud, but your footprints leave a silent message of where your soul has travelled."

" Hope is not pretending that troubles don't exist. It is the trust that they will not last forever, that hurts will be healed and difficulties overcome. It is faith that a source of strength and renewal lies within to lead us through the dark into the sunshine."
Elizabeth A. Chase
" In life, don't be disappointed due to failures you have endured. Instead, be thankful that you have known many ways of failure. This knowledge means these failures will not come into your path in the future and you will know that you have already climbed more stairs on the ladder to success."

" So many of us hit a point in life where we realize we haven't reached our potential. We see what we could've been, what we should've been, and see that we aren't anywhere near it. Naturally, we despair. But then a quote like this comes along, "It is never too late to be what you might have been." --- George Eliot, and makes you realize, 'I'm still alive, and I'm still me.'"

"The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, "I wish someone would come by and turn me on." What if they don't show up? You've got to have a better plan for your life."
Jim Rohn
" Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's OK to fail. If you're not failing, you're not growing."

" Failures are the pillars of success. Keep trying again and again; one day the time is bound to come to offer you the fruits of your labor. By the same way, no one should expect the results before time and more than luck. Keep in mind that hard labor is the gateway to success."
D.K. --- Submitted by Dillip Mohapatra --- India
" Rejection or Failure is always better than Regret. At least you would have the satisfaction knowing that you tried rather than always wondering what could have happened or complaining that you did not try. So just give it a shot and don't bother about the outcome."

" In the end, it's extra effort that separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more that that, too. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination, discipline, and self-sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don't win, how can you lose?"
Jesse Owens
" Success never comes to those who sit and stare; it comes to those only who act and dare."

" The difference between getting somewhere and nowhere is the courage to make an early start. The fellow who sits still and just does what he is told will never be told to do bigger things."
