A field of clay touched by the genius of man becomes a castle.
All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath- so what does that make today worth?
Always I will take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.
Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.
Each day will be triumphant only when your smiles bring forth smiles from others.
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
I was not deIivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd.
I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind infects me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep my eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.
I will commit not the terrible crime of aiming too low. I will do the work that a failure will not do. I will always let my reach exceed my grasp.
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.
I will persist until I succeed.
I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; Yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; Yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all.
What is past is past. You can do nothing about yesterday and last month and the failures of last year, but you can do everything toward making tomorrow and the rest of your life what you always dreamed it could be.
While life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future.
