Life is not so much a matter of position as of disposition.
Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
Don't be content with doing only your duty. Do more than your duty. It's the horse that finishes a neck ahead that wins the race.
The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.
Concentrate your energy, your thoughts and your capital.
