No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.

The body is the servant of the mind. It obeys the operations of the mind, whether they be deliberately chosen or automatically expressed.

The vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by, this you will become.

In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.

A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.

Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not long remain so if you but perceive an Ideal and strive to reach it.
