Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul’s resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his lttle finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.
William James
Statistics show that of those who contract the habit of eating, very few survive.
Wallace Irwin
Winning is not a sometime thing; its an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while; you don’t do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit.
Vincent Thomas "Vince" Lombardi

Vincent Thomas "Vince" Lombardi

W(illiam) Somerset Maugham

Ugo Betti
