    The chief ingredients for success are imagination plus ambition and the will to work.

    Every effect has a cause. And thought is the first cause of success in any worthwhile achievement. If you don’t think, you don’t succeed. If your thoughts are based on the wrong premises, you fail to get the right answers.

    The subconscious mind transmutes a driving desire into reality when the individual believes it is attainable.

    Men may not do what you expect unless you inspect.

    To be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.


    Don’t expect what you don’t inspect. Check yourself regularly to see if you are on the right track.


    A small drop of ink can make millions think.


    There is a difference between reading and understanding.

    The following has been taken from Success through a Positive Mental Attitude, by W. Clement Stone and Napoleon Hill.


    If you know what you want, you are more apt to recognize it when you see it.

    Our attitude shapes our future.

    We translate into physical reality the thoughts and attitudes we hold in our minds.

    The victory within us does not assert itself until we are ready.

    Remember, your world will change whether or not you choose to change it. But you have the power to choose its direction. You can select your own targets.

    The starting point of all achievement is definiteness of purpose with PMA.

    Everyone has many talents for surmounting his special problems. If life hands us a problem, it hands us also the abilities with which to meet the problem.

    God should be in control of everyones life. If he's not, you might've took a wrong turn somewhere along the way.

    Necessity is the mother of invention and the father of crime.

    Necessity motivates a man with PMA to action without transgressing recognized inviolable standards. An honest man won’t deceive, cheat, or steal because of necessity. Honesty is inherent in PMA.

    That which seems logical to the person who is ignorant of the facts or know-how may be illogical to the man who does know. When you make decisions because you refuse to keep an open mind and learn the truth, that is ignorance.

    Truth is truth and is not false regardless of anyone’s lack of knowledge or understanding.

    Base your conclusions on what you know, yet be prepared to change them when you become more enlightened.


    You are a mind with a body. Your mind has two parts; the conscious and subconscious.


    You can do it if you believe you can.


    Power can be used for evil or for good, depending upon how it is directed.

    Quantities of facts are much easier to learn than principles but of little use without application of principles. Once a principle has been acquired it becomes a part of one and is never lost.

    Me too, brother. Miz Carol is going over to our church to help fix plates for a fund raiser we're doing for a little girl with multiple health issues, they sold 1000 plates.
    I'm heading out to do more storm clean-up, so I'll be with ya'll in spirit.
