Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.

The object of education is not to fill a man's mind with facts; it is to teach him how to use his mind in thinking.

Too many men are afraid of being fools.

You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars.

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.

As a young man, I was very interested in how people lived in earlier times; how they got from place to place, lighted their homes, cooked their meals and so on. So I went to the history books. Well, I could find out all about kings and presidents; but I could learn nothing of their everyday lives. So I decided that history is bunk.

Education is not something to prepare you for life; it is a continuous part of life.
