Quin tiles 'Values'


The harder I work, the more I live.
Let your heart soar as high as it can – Refuse to be average.
All greatness is achieved while performing outside your comfort zone.
Patience and perseverance have magical effect, before which all the difficulties disappear.
The key to happiness is having dreams; the key to success is making them come true.
Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
Great people are those who make others feel that they too, can become great.
The greatest pleasure in life is in doing what people say you cannot do.
Not everything that is faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it is changed.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you - Never excuse yourself.
I believe in the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavour.
To be what we are and to become what we are capable of becoming is the only way in life.
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
Every time you step on the field, believe that you’re going to walk off the winner, somehow, someway.
Never let go that fiery sadness, yet motivational power called 'desire'.
Only by great risks can great results be achieved.
Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste.
The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence.
Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal – My strength lays solely in my tenacity.
What is now proved was once only imagined.
In the power to change yourself lies the power to change the world around you.
If you doubt you can accomplish something, then you can’t accomplish it.
If you are not ready today, you will be even less so tomorrow.
Face adversity promptly and without flinching, and you will reduce its impact.
Take chances…When rowing forward the boat may rock.
The big secret in life is that there is no big secret – you can get your goal by hard work.
Nothing can resist the human will that will stake even its existence on its stated purpose.
The next best thing to winning is losing – At least you have been in the race.
The fruit that falls without shaking, indeed, is too mellow for me.
Restlessness and discontent are the first necessities of progress.
Go! Go! Go! It makes no difference where you go; Go! Go! Go! At the first opportunity – Go!
The world belongs to the energetic.
To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.
In the simplest terms, a leader is one who knows where to go, and gets up and goes.
The beginning of all big things is small.
I don’t wait for moods you accomplish if you do that – Your mind must know it has got to get down to the earth.
A man may fall many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
We all have only enough strength to complete those assignments that we are fully convinced are important.
If you should put even a little on a little and should do this often, soon this too would become big.
If you do not expect the unexpected, you will not find it.
Nothing ever succeeds which exuberant spirits have not helped to produce.
To strive, to seek, to find and to succeed; that’s the way of life.
A work well begun is half done.
The need of change bulldozed a road down the centre of my mind.
If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success – But only if you persist.
Do not fear death so much rather, the inadequate life.
Act as if it is impossible to fail.
Do the hardest thing on earth for yourself. Act for yourself. Love yourself.
Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.
Life endangers life. Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.
Audacity, more audacity, and always audacity!
You can become strongest in your weakest place.
You can have anything in the world you want, if you want it badly enough and if you are willing to pay the price.
Fortune favours the bold.
I have learned through my mistakes and false assumptions, not by exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.
I am a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.
One only gets to the top rung of the ladder by steadily climbing up one at a time.
An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.
Weary the path that does not challenge. Doubt is an incentive to truth and patient inquiry, leads the way.
He who attempts the absurd can achieve the impossible.
If you do not like the way the world is, you change it. You just have to do it one step at a time.
Self-reverence, self-knowledge and self-control – These three alone leads to success.
It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate.
The drops of rain make a hole in the stone not by violence but by oft falling.
Circumstances! What are circumstances? I make circumstances.
Courage is the fear that has said its prayers.
Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labour in freedom.
Thought created character; Character can dominate conditions. Will create circumstances and environment.
Eliminate something superfluous from your life. Break a habit. Do something that make you feel secure.
Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is.
Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.
Turn the stumbling rocks into stepping stones.
It is a funny thing about life; If you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.
Use your imagination not to scare yourself to death, but to inspire yourself to live.
The world is so fast these days that if one says it can’t be done, he is interrupted by someone doing it.
Opportunities are seldom labelled.
Be bold. Don’t even think you’re going to make an error and hit the ball confidently.
Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
If a door slams shut, it means that God is pointing to an open door further on down.
There is a soul force in the universe which, if we permit, will flow through us and produce miraculous results.
You cannot dream yourself into character; You must hammer and forge yourself one.
Change not the mass, but change the fabric of your own soul and your own visions, and you change all.
Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, say “Certainly I can” Then get busy and find out how to do it.
It is necessary to try to surpass oneself; This occupation ought to last as long as life.
Nothing is impossible. It is just an excuse that we quite often make.
What you want to be eventually, that you must be every day; the quality of your deeds will get down into your soul.
Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we walk boldly through them.
We will never have all the facts to make a perfect judgement, but with experience we must leap bravely into the future.
I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man’s.
Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
The secret is this; Strength lies solely in tenacity.
I want this team to win. I’m obsessed with winning, with discipline, with achieving.
Risk! Risk! Risk! Anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices if you are sure of yourself.
If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.
The harsh winter makes spring so pleasant, If we do not taste adversity, Prosperity would not be so welcome.
Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all you do.
Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
We must never be afraid to go too far, for success lies just beyond.
To become a champion, fight one more round.
The secret of joy in work is contained in one word-Excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.
I do not believe in the fate that falls on men however they act; I do believe in fate that falls on them unless they act.
Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose – A purpose to fix the intellectual eye.
All the resources we need are in the mind.
I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me.
The thing that you believe in always happens; and the belief in that thing makes it happen.
Enthusiasm is a kind of faith that has been set afire.
Do not follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
One may have enthusiasm for thirty minutes or thirty days – But he who has it for thirty years makes a success in life.
Mishaps are like knives that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or the handle.
Victory is not won in miles but in inches.
Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution.
An enthusiast may bore others but he never has a dull moment himself.
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Believe in life! Live and progress to greater, broader and a fuller life.
Refuse to join the cautious crowd that plays not to lose; Play to win.
All things are difficult before they are easy.
There is a great deal of unmapped country within us.
Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait.
Adventure is worthwhile in itself.
If you create an act, you create a habit and a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny.
Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.
Putting off an easy thing makes it hard. Putting off a hard thing makes it impossible.
Seize the very first opportunity to act on every resolution you make.
The bravest sigh in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Destiny is not a thing to be waited for; It is a thing to be achieved.
Who bravely dares, must sometimes risk a fall.
Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away.
Courageous risks are life-giving, they help you grow, make you brave and better than you think you are.
The brave man carves out his fortune and everyman is the son of his own works.
When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
We are made to persist. That’s how we find out who we are.
The mind has exactly the same power as the hands: Not merely to grasp the world, but to change it.
Destiny is not a matter of chance; It is a matter of choice.
The real secret of success is enthusiasm. More than enthusiasm. I would say excitement.
Character, not circumstances, makes the person.
Opportunity multiply as they are seized.
The great individual is the one who does a thing for the first time.
When I was young, I observed that nine out of every ten things I did failed, so I did ten times more work.
Change is not made without inconvenience.
The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.
The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labour is immense.
You have to have confidence in your ability and then be tough enough to follow through.
Be a realist and believe that what is done in short run, determines the long run.
All powers, all abilities, which never belonged to you, suddenly comes alive when you say, “I have to do it”.

A thing becomes available only when a man knows exactly what he wants.

Don’t let anything distract you, when you’re walking in the directions of the habits you aspire to gain.
Courage is sometimes as frail as hope but it knows how to strive and have faith.
A fragile shoot between two stones can also grow bravely towards the sun, with faith as its strength.
Team should compete with themselves to do more and to do better.

The best way to be ready for the future is to invent it.

The most important thing about goals is having one.
Those who attain any excellence in commonly spent life in some pursuit, is not often gained upon easier terms.

It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believe in myself.
Man is only truly great when he acts from his passions.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did.
All serious daring starts from within. Action is eloquence.
He who stops being better, stops being good.
