The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

Vince Lombardi

You have achieved success if you have lived well, laughed often and loved much.

Author Unknown  Bessie A. Stanley

Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon… must inevitably come to pass!

Paul J. Meyer

To laugh often and much; to win respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of false critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Emerson

We were born to succeed, not to fail.

Henry David Thoreau

Work as though you would live forever, and live as though you would die today.

Og Mandino
