The be-all and end-all of life should not be to get rich, but to enrich the world.
Difficulties should act as a tonic. They should spur us to greater exertion.
The man of fixed ingrained principles who has mapped out a straight course, and has the courage and self-control to adhere to it, does not find life complex. Complexities are all of our own making.
Success consists of being and doing, not simply accumulating.
Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.
The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.
