Success must include two things: the development of an individual to his utmost potentiality and a contribution of some kind to one's world.

it is always easier to do nothing than to try a new line of action.

The world conspires to help those who are in love with the beauty of their dreams.

About the only value the story of my life may have is to show that one can, even without any particular gifts, overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable if one is willing to face the fact that they must be overcome.

All human beings have failings, all human beings have needs and temptations and stresses. Men and women who live together through long years get to know one another's failings; but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admiration in those they live with and in themselves. If at the end one can say, This man used to the limit the powers that God granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achieve what he deemed to be his task, then that life has been lived well and there are no regrets.

Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, ‘It can’t be done.’

In business courtesy and efficiency have a symbiotic relationship.
