There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.

It's what each of us sows, and how, that gives us character and prestige.

He who does not get fun and enjoyment out of every day...needs to reorganize his life

It is a great thing to have a big brain, a fertile imagination, grand ideals, but the man with these, bereft of a good backbone, is sure to serve no useful end.

The organized person ... makes the most of his time and goes to his bed for the night perfectly relaxed for rest and renewal.

The further you get from nature, the less happy you are; and the nearer, the more exultant you become over the world and all that there is in it.

It's marvelous the change that comes about when a man gets together all his forces and centers them upon the doing of one thing at a time.
