Man's record upon this wild world is the record of work, and of work alone.

If you want learning, you must work for it.

A woman in love is a very poor judge of character.

Preceptive wisdom that has not been vivified by life has in itself no affinity for life.

It is better to be a self-made man,--filled up according to God's original pattern,--than to be half a man, made after some other man's pattern.

God gave every man individuality of constitution, and a chance for achieving individuality of character. He puts special instruments into every man's hands by which to make himself and achieve his mission.

All who become men of power reach their estate by the same self-mastery, the same self-adjustment to circumstances, the same voluntary exercise and discipline of their faculties, and the same working of their life up to and into their high ideals of life.
