Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.

Action is the real measure of intelligence.

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

If you are one of those people who believe that hard work and honesty alone will bring riches-perish the thought; because it's not true. Riches, when they come in huge quantities, are never the result of hard work. Riches come if they come at all, in response to definite demands, based upon the application of definite principles, and not by chance or luck.
