If I am a cup maker I'm interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup not what people think about it.

As a mom I know it is my responsibility and no one else's to raise my kids. But we have to ask ourselves what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts undermined by an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids.

An excuse becomes an obstacle in your journey to success when it is made in place of your best effort or when it is used as the object of the blame.

The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best but what is easily within our power and suited for our temperament and condition.

I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort.

Achievement is not always success while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.

The best effort of a fine person is felt after we have left their presence.

I live by the philosophy that beauty starts from within and I make a conscious effort to fill my body with nutrients through the food I eat.

Beauty must appeal to the senses must provide us with immediate enjoyment must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.
