The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.

Live up to the best that is in you: Live noble lives, as you all may, in whatever condition you may find yourselves.

Hope has as many lives as a cat or a king.

The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

A life that is worth writing at all is worth writing minutely.

Where'er a noble deed is wrought, Where'er is spoken a noble thought, Our hearts in glad surprise To higher levels rise.

However things may seem, no evil thing is success and no good thing is failure.
