"[Focus on what want and distract from what don't want:] For want of self restraint many men are engaged all their lives in fighting with difficulties of their own making, and rendering success impossible by their own cross grained ungentleness; whilst others, it may be much less gifted, make their way and achieve success by simple patience, equanimity, and self-control." - Samuel Smiles

"'Where there is a will there is a way,' is an old and true saying. He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the barriers to it, and secures its achievement. To think we are able, is almost to be so - to determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself." - Samuel Smiles
