[H]owever hard the road, however difficult today, tomorrow things will be better. Tomorrow may not be better, but we must believe that it will be.

The tragedy of this life is not failure, but low aim.

It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture.

Whatever you do,strive to do it so well that no man living and no man dead and no man yet to be born could do it any better.

He who starts behind in the great race of life must forever remain behind or run faster than the man in front.

It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.

It isn't more light we need, it isn't more truth, and it isn't more scientific data. It is more Christ, more courage, more spiritual insight to act on the light we have.
