Another discovery which came out of my investigation was the fact that when one gives his or her order to produce a definite result and stands by that order, it seems to have the effect of giving one what might be termed a second sight which enables him or her to see right through ordinary problems. What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when one is in that state of mind in which he or she knows exactly what one wants and is fully determined not to quit until he or she finds it.

It is the man who carefully advances step by step...who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.

I have travelled around the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all!

Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.
