When I was a Boy Scout, we played a game when new Scouts joined the troop.

When people say to me:

When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.

You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures.

The important thing is to strive towards a goal which is not immediately visible.

The impossible is often the untried.

The only thing that has to be finished by next Tuesday is next Monday.

The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.

The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it.

The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man’s foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher.

The vision must be followed by the venture.

The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.

The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers.

The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible – and achieve it, generation after generation.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
