Optimsim is the Faith

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
