The Man who Thinks He Can - Walter D Wintle

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you like to win but think you can't
It's almost a cinch that you won't.
If you think you'll lose, your lost,
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself
Before you can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

~Walter D Wintle

What we GIVE ~ Churchill

"We make a living by what we get,
                   we make a life by what we give."
                                                      Sir Winston Churchill

Opposition ~ James E Faust

"You must know that Lucifer will oppose you,
and be prepared for his opposition.
Do not be surprised he wants you to fail.
Discouragement is one of the devils tools.
Have courage and go forward.
Recognize that the gospel has been preached
with some pain and sorrow from the very beginning of time.
Do not expect that your experience will be otherwise."
James E Faust

Meaningful Change

"Let us all find
           the wisdom to see...
unspeakable tragedy
      as a doorway to
            meaningful change."

                                          Angel Kyobe Williams

Remember ~ Ardeth Kapp

              Do you remember you?

              Do you remember who you are
and whose you are?

                        Do you remember Him
                                   who bought you with a price?

                                                                                                               Ardeth Kapp

The Lord is my helper

"So that we may boldly say,
     The Lord is my helper,
           and I will not fear
 what man shall do unto me." 
                  Hebrews 13:6

Afflictions - Henry Ward Beecher

"Affliction comes to us all
    not to make us sad,
          but sober;
    not to make us sorry,
             but wise;
    not to make us despondent,
                  but by its darkness
         to refresh us,
as the night refreshes the day;
    Not to impoverish,
             but to enrich us. "
                                Henry Ward Beecher

Everlastingness - Neal A Maxwell

"The everlastingness
               of certain things,
puts the temporariness
                          of other things
                      in perspective."
                                                                   Neal A. Maxwell

Pain nourishes courage...Mary Tyler Moore

"Pain nourishes courage.
                  You can't be brave
if you've only had wonderful things
                                         happen to you."
                                                      Mary Tyler Moore

Work like...

Work like you don't need the money
         Love like you've never been hurt
Sing like nobody's listening
    Live like it's heaven on earth!

Great Potential....Emma Hope

"I believe we have great potential,
                     it is just being satisfied with
and at peace with the day to day progression
                                              that it takes to get there.
Recognizing and appreciating the growth on a daily basis.    
                 Taking it one day at a time,
                              allowing our potential to
            organically blossom into our entire being.
Becoming who we can be line upon line,
                                              precept on precept. 
Having a vision of the desired outcome,
                      and keeping that vision as a beacon
          and standard for our daily choices." 
                                                                  Emma Hope

Keep Trying....Jeffrey R Holland
