We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.
—Orison Swett Marden
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man
to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
—Henry David Thoreau
If you aren’t afraid of falling, you aren’t climbing high enough.
Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit.
We are all the same in this notion. The potential for greatness lives within each of us.
—Wilma Rudolph
Inspiration without instruction is in vain.
To declare there is a mountaintop of promise is useless or worse,
if I am left in the valley of doubt.
It is one thing to tell me I have greatness within,
quite another to teach me to bring it out.
Do not tell me I can fly if you cannot show me how.
Line it up, wind it up, and let it fly.
Know it. See it. Be it. Feel it.
