"Study the unusually successful people you know, and you will

find them imbued with an enthusiasm for their work which is contagious. 

Not only are they themselves excited about what they are doing,

but they also get you excited."

"Vision is the art of seeing the invisible."

"Difficulty strengthens the mind as labor does the body."

"He who has no fire in himself cannot ignite others."

"The man who says it can't be done

is generally interrupted by someone doing it."

"Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which,

in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant."

"The simplest man, fired with enthusiasm,

is more persuasive than the most eloquent man without it."

"There is a little difference in people,

but that little difference makes a big difference. 

The little difference is attitude. 

The big difference is whether it is positive or negative."

When confronted with a Goliath-size problem,

which way do you respond:

"He's too big to hit,"

 OR, like David,

"He's too big to miss"?

"If you aren't fired with enthusiasm,

you will be fired with enthusiasm."

-      Coach Vince Lombardi

"A fault-finder is a person with a bad memory who never remembers the good,

or with a good memory who always remembers the bad."

"What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – but the size of the fight in the dog."

"Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal."

"Your problems and hardships will make you either bitter or better."

"Optimists are nostalgic about the future."
