The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.

The necessity for struggle is one of the clever devices through which nature forces individuals to expand, develop, progress, and become strong through resistance. . .We are forced to recognize that this great universal necessity for struggle must have a definite and useful purpose. That purpose is to force the individual to sharpen his wits, arouse his enthusiasm, build up his spirit of faith, gain definiteness of purpose, develop his power of will, and inspire his faculty of imagination to give him new uses for old ideas and concepts. . .

Persistence is the direct result of habit. The mind absorbs and becomes a part of the daily experiences upon which it feeds. Fear, the worst of all enemies, can be effectively cured by forced repetition of acts of courage.

Opportunity never sneaks up on those who straddle the fence of indecision.

You have a brain and mind of your own. Use it, and reach your own decisions

Cherish the music that stirs in your heart.

One of the most important principles of success is developing the habit of going the extra mile.
