Mere connection with what is known as a superior race will not permanently carry an individual forward unless the individual has worth.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

Character, not circumstances, makes the man.

Let us keep before us the fact that, almost without exception, every race or nation that has ever got upon its feet has done so through struggle and trial and persecution; and that out of this very resistance to wrong, out of the struggle against odds, they have gained strength, self-confidence, and experience which they could not have gained in any other way.

The circumstances that surround a man's life are not important. How that man responds to those circumstances IS IMPORTANT. His response is the ultimate determining factor between success and failure.

Success waits patiently for anyone who has the determination and strength to seize it.

Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him, and to let him know that you trust him.
