There are many fine things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. But the only time that is yours is the present.

Make your judgment trustworthy by trusting it

You are already of consequence in the world if you are known as a man of strict integrity.

The great things you intend to do some time must have a beginning if they are ever to be done, so begin something worthwhile today.

Discreetly keep most of your radical opinions to yourself. When with people be a listener a large part of the time. Be considerate in every word and act, and resist the tendency to say clever things. The best evidence of your culture is the tone and temper of your conversation.

The quality of your thoughts determines the quality of your personal character.

When you want a thing deeply, earnestly and intensely, this feeling of desire reinforces your will and arouses in you the determination to work for the desired object.
