Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

All flowers talk to me and so do hundreds of little living things in the woods. I learn what I know by watching and loving everything.

God is going to reveal to us things He never revealed before if we put our hands in His. No books ever go into my laboratory. The thing I am to do and the way of doing it are revealed to me. I never have to grope for methods. The method is revealed to me the moment I am inspired to create something new. Without God to draw aside the curtain I would be helpless.

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise. At no other time have I so sharp an understanding of what God means to do with me as in these hours of dawn.

When I touch that flower, I am not merely touching that flower. I am touching infinity. That little flower existed long before there were human beings on this earth. It will continue to exist for thousands, yes, millions of years to come.

You can't teach people anything. You can only draw out.

The secret of my success? It is simple. It is found in the Bible.
