Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do.

–Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The Victor
By C.W. Longenecker

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 you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.
For out in 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 the 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.

The way to succeed is never quit. That’s it. But really be humble about it. –Alex Haley

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” –Thomas A. Edison

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that?s where you will find success.” — Thomas J. Watson

Life’s problems wouldn’t be called “hurdles” if there wasn’t a way to get over them. –Author Unknown

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure.”
– Colin Powell

“Do not wait for your ship to come in – swim out to it.” –Unknown

The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch. –Jim Rohn

The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it. –Wayne Gretzky
