In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.
Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.
No man is hindered by another; he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another; he suffers only because of himself.
Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.
A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
