If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

Don't find fault, find a remedy: anyone can complain.

Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.
