A man can only rise, conquer, and achieved by lifting up his thoughts.
He is limited only by the thoughts which he chooses.

He who is constantly in the conception of noble and lofty thoughts, who dwells upon all that is pure and selfless, will, as surely as the sun reaches its zenith and the moon it’s full, become wise noble and character, and rise into a position of influence and blessedness.
The dreamers are the saviours of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible.
Desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve.
Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be.
The greatest achievement was the first and for a time a dream.
Dreams are the seedlings of reality.
In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of each effort is the measure of the result.
Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater in his success, his influence, his power for good.
Self-control is strength; right thought his mastery
