One day at a time.
Easy does it.
First things first.
Read the Big Book.
Keep it simple.
Fear is the opposite of faith.
God doesn't make junk.
To thine own self be true.
Think, think, think.
You can make things happen, but you can't make them work.
Life is what happens while you're making plans.
Become, and remain teachable.
Half measures availed us nothing.
99% commitment is a struggle; 100% is a cinch.

I fought and I lost; I fought and I lost; I surrendered and I won.
It's my way or the highway.
When one door closes, another opens.
Say what you mean, and mean what you say.
Analysis paralysis.
Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.
You finally have choices.
Exercise your ability to make choices.
Do you want to live, or do you want to exist?
Eventually, we have to give up hope for a better past.
Anything beyond your control is not your problem.
It's a cinch by the inch; it's hard by the yard.

If you want what you've never had, you have to do what you've never done.
If you always want, you'll never be satisfied.

We are here to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.
Expectations are premeditated resentments.
When you're green, you grow; when you're ripe, you rot.

The quality of my life is directly proportional to the commitments I make and keep.
A wise person knows what they don't know.
Turn your troubles over to God—He'll be up anyway.
God, grant me the patience for unanswered prayers.
Do your best, pray it's blessed, and let God do the rest.
It's none of my business what others think of me.
No one can hurt your feelings unless you let them.
You alone can make or break your peace of mind.
It's not your situation that affects you, but your reaction to it.
Act—don't react. Live your own life.
It is no crime not to be perfect.
Have the courage to make mistakes.
A mistake is evidence that someone tried.
Accept that no one can fully understand another person.
You are no better than anyone else, and no worse.

True happiness is liking who you see in the mirror.
Happiness is wanting what you have.
Control your feelings, or they will control you.
You are responsible for yourself.
Don't try to carry the world—you are no Atlas.
Setbacks are part of life; don't let them stop you.
It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice.
Self-discipline is the foundation of emotional stability.
Feelings aren't facts.
Talk straight, and listen well.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I can't—He can—I think I'll let Him.
Be proactive, not reactive.
Happiness is a choice—choose it.
I can't change you; I can change me.
It works if you work it.
Bring your body, and your mind will follow.
Let your best be good enough for today.
Tie a knot and hang on.
You're only as sick as your secrets.
Slow growth is good growth.
Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
