Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end results of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.

The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.

Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense.

I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.

The shortest answer is the doing the thing.

If life were measured by accomplishments, most of us would die in infancy.

There is no good arguing with the inevitible. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat.
