If a man attains a high station in life, it is because he has acquired or was blessed with native ability as a salesman. Schooling, college degrees, intellect, brilliancy, are of no avail to the man who lacks the ability to attract the cooperative efforts of others, thus to create opportunities for himself.

The persistent man with a poor plan stands a better chance of winning than the man with a perfect plan who hesitates and waivers in carrying it out.

Ideas... they have the power

Hard labor and good intentions are not sufficient to carry a man through to success.

The battle is all over except the 'shouting' when one knows what is wanted and has made up his mind to get it, whatever the price may be.

If you fail to control your own mind, you may be sure you will control nothing else.

There is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose, or definite goal at which to aim.
