An inch of progress is worth more than a yard of complaint.

Each one should remember there is a chance for him.

In my contact with people, I find that, as a rule, it is only the little, narrow people who live for themselves, who never read good books, who do not travel, who never open up their souls in a way to permit them to come into contact with other souls – with the great outside world.

In the long run, the world is going to have the best, and any difference in race, religion, or previous history will not keep the world from what it wants.

Those who have accomplished the greatest results are those...who never grow excited or lose self-control, but are always calm, self-possessed, patient and polite.

Remember that everyone's life is measured by the power that individual has to make the world better-this is all life is.

Too often the educational value of doing well what is done, however little, is overlooked. One thing well done prepares the mind to do the next thing better. Not how much, but how well, should be the motto. One problem thoroughly understood is of more value than a score poorly mastered.
