The friendly smile, the word of greeting, are certainly something fleeting and seemingly insubstantial. You can’t take them with you. But they work for good beyond your power to measure their influence. It is the service we are not obliged to give that people value most.

They serve best who give most of themselves. Self is forgotten by the one who serves, for such a one rejoices to see success coming to others through his or her efforts.

No serious-minded man should have time for the mediocre in any phase of his living.

I believe a man is better anchored who has a belief in the Supreme Being.

No matter what his position or experience in life, there is in everyone more latent than developed ability; far more unused than used power.

The men who have furnished me with my greatest inspiration have not been men of wealth, but men of deeds.

Clock watchers never seem to be having a good time.
