To automatically be promoted from one class to another without any serious self- discipline, and self- improvement is a cheap life.

Self-improvement is possible only through time conversion in solitude.

Our world is filled with people who have only a shallow knowledge of certain skills and have remained like that for so many years without self-improvement

Appreciate every little improvement. Forget to criticize every failure as long as you are learning from them.

With no positivity, there is no hope; with no negativity, there is no improvement.

The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, rather we hate being taught. To learn entails that the knowledge was achieved on one's own accord - it feels great - but to be taught often leaves a feeling of inferiority. Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop.

You can't improve anything if you don't first know what needs to be improved.

Major improvements don't happen over night. Their are many moments inching towards improvement. The difference between those who make major improvements in their lives are the ones who embrace patience and wait through the darkness as long as it takes.

Everything can be improved.

I've upped my standards. Now, up yours.

You don't get anything clean without getting something else dirty.

Put cream and sugar on a fly and it tastes very much like a raspberry.

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.

Poets lose half the praise they should have got, Could it be known what they discreetly blot.

Happy are they that hear their detractions and can put them to mending.

Have therefore first zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbour.

Every man contemplates an angel in his future self.

Old houses mended, Cost little less than new, before they're ended.

Improvement makes straight roads; but the crooked roads without improvement are roads of genius.

Half a mans life is devoted to what he calls improvements, yet the original had some quality which is lost in the process.
