“It takes no courage to be an optimist, but it takes a great deal of courage to have hope.”

“Optimism is a passive virtue, hope is an active one.”

“Optimism is the belief that things will get better. Hope is the faith that, together, we can make things better.”

“Hope always has a future.”

“Losses in life are never fun, but there is one loss no one can afford to experience, the loss of hope.”

“Knowledge may come from study, but wisdom come from learning and improving in the wake of your mistakes.”

“Small differences over time create a big difference. Improvement is achieved in inches, not giant leaps.”

“The most common trait in successful people: They have conquered the temptation to give up.”

“Losers don’t lose because they focus on losing. They lose because they focus on just getting by.”

“Improvement demands a commitment to growth long after the mood in which it was made has passed.”

“The most important question you can ever ask yourself. It’s not what am I getting. It is what am I becoming.”

“Success doesn’t always bring growth, but personal growth will always add to our success.”

“Failure isn’t the best teacher. Neither is experience. Only evaluated experience teaches us.”

“Losses are inevitable, but excuses are optional.”

“Nothing happens to advance our potential until we step and say “I am responsible.””

“You can deal with reality sooner, or later the reality will deal with you.”

“Life is difficult. Life is difficult for everyone. No one escapes problems. Its called life.”

“Its easier to go from failure to success than it is from excuses to success.”

“Wisely humble people are never afraid to admit they were wrong. When they do it, it’s like saying they’re wiser today than they were yesterday.”
