It is a point that I repeat over and over again in teaching public speaking. It is not so much what you say as it is the tone and manner in which you say it that makes a lasting impression.

Experience is a teacher that knows no favorites.

It takes more than a college degree to make one a person of education. Any person who is educated is one who has learned to get whatever he wants in life without violating the rights of others.

One of the most valuable things any person can learn is the art of using the knowledge and experience of others.

What is initiative? I'll tell you: It is doing the right thing without being told.

Riches don't respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.

Those who approach their jobs and careers with enthusiasm always find plenty of opportunities, while those who complain about no one ever giving them a chance are merely observers of life. When you are determined that you will not allow others to determine your future for you, when you refuse to allow temporary setbacks to defeat you, you are destined for great success. The opportunities will always be there for you.
