We shall prosper as we learn to do the common things of life in an uncommon way. Let down your buckets where you are.

A life is not worth much of which it cannot be said, when it comes to its close, that it was helpful to humanity.

Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.

Holding a grudge does not hurt the person against whom the grudge is held, it hurts the one who holds it.

If you truly want to measure the success of a man, you do not measure it by a position he has achieved, but by the obstacles he has overcome.

You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.

Ignorance is more costly to any State than education.
