You need to recognize and sweep aside certain weaknesses which stand between you and your goals. Your persistence develops into a respected, proved, progressive power.

I had learned, from years of experience with men, that when a man really desires a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win.

Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire brings a small amount of heat.

Most failures could have been converted into successes if someone had held on another minute or made more effort.

There is always room for those who can be relied upon to delivery the goods when they say they will.

You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.
