Count the days on which you have not been angry: 'I used to be angry every day; now every other day; then every third and fourth day.' If you have passed thirty days, offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving.
From this moment, then, deem yourself worthy of living as a mature person who is making progress.
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.
Do not compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.
If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
In the day when you have not come across any problems—you can be sure that you are traveling in a wrong path.
One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.
I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.
Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.
Do not fear growing slowly; fear only standing still.
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
