 I assert with confidence that the law of success, here and hereafter, is to have a humble and prayerful heart, and to work, work, work.  Heber J. Grant

“The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others; and they, in turn, reverence his spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn from him and rely upon him. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good.”

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Winston Churchill 

"It is not your business to succeed, but to do right; when you have done so, the rest lies with God."  Source: “Yours, Jack: Spiritual Direction from C.S. Lewis” (2008)

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Winston Churchill 

"It is necessary to prepare, to plan, so that we don't fritter away our lives. Without a goal, there can be no real success. The best definition of success I have ever found goes something like this: Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. Someone has said the trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never crossing the goal line." Thomas S. Monson ,  "Three Gates Only You Can Open," New Era, Aug. 2008, 2, 4

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden path, or a redeemed social condition, to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded! Ralph Waldo Emerson
