Marais Aurelius

I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that is how we grow.

When I thought I couldn’t go on, I forced myself to keep going. My success is based on persistence, not luck.

If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost.

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it’s better than no inspiration at all.

All great things begin with a vision … a dream.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.

You can make just about anything of your life-anything you will believe or will visualize, anything you will pray for and work for. Look deeply into your mind. Amazing wonders are there. Whatever the situation may be, you can improve it.

The right quote can inspire people to change their ways.

Don’t let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

That if you try once, you should try again. Keep that focus exactly where it should be-on winning.

The greatest source of happiness is the ability to be grateful at all times.

Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.

I seldom read anything that is not of a factual nature because I want to invest my time wisely in the things that will improve my life. Don’t misunderstand; there is nothing wrong with reading purely for the joy of it. Novels have their place, but biographies of famous men and women contain information that can change lives.

Most good ideas sparkle in simplicity, so much so that everyone wonders why no one ever did that before.

If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.
