Benjamin Franklin

"Without continual growth and progress, words like improvement and success have no meaning."

"Fear can paralyze, but preparation restores control."

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."

"Energy and persistence conquer all things."

"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

"If you can dream it, you can do it."

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
